When Theft Becomes a State Enterprise: The Ultimate Satire of Institutionalized Plunder

A Satirical Text by Al‑Nadim Al‑Raqmi (The Digital Nadim)

---

Full English Translation

A republican decree has established the "Holding Company for Illicit Public Funds." It will oversee the leakage and paths of stolen funds, official theft from the state budget, hidden major corruption operations, and monitor them – such as astronomical import commissions, the racket of senior officials, the contracts mafia, direct assignment, legalized embezzlement, and under‑the‑table dirty operations, etc. It will then capture all these enormous funds that drain the state budget and suck the blood of the poor and destitute among the people, pump them into a single container monitored and directed by the Central Bank in cooperation with the Public Funds Investigations Department and the Central Auditing Organization. These funds will then be distributed after being presented to and approved by the House of Representatives as follows: one‑third to the Presidency, one‑third to debt repayment, and one‑third to the thieves of public funds. This will be done after the state's share of taxes and fees has been collected, after all illicit funds have been delivered to the holding company in full, without deducting any expenses, fees, gratuities, or incidentals, so that the company can distribute them to the legally entitled parties.

An economic source confirmed that this pioneering step of establishing this company will unify the sources of public plunder, legalize them, and direct them into a domestic national container to localize them, instead of smuggling them abroad with no benefit to the country or its citizens.

Introduction: When Corruption Becomes a State‑Owned Enterprise

This text by Al‑Nadim Al‑Raqmi represents one of his most audacious and devastating satires on the institutionalization of corruption. The premise is a republican decree (the highest form of legal authorization in Egypt) establishing a "Holding Company for Illicit Public Funds." This state‑owned enterprise will track, monitor, and ultimately capture all forms of corruption: stolen funds, official theft, import commissions, senior official rackets, contract mafias, direct‑assignment deals, legalized embezzlement, and under‑the‑table operations. Once captured, these funds will be deposited into a single container overseen by the Central Bank and other watchdog agencies. After parliamentary approval, the funds will be distributed: one‑third to the Presidency, one‑third to debt repayment, and one‑third to the thieves themselves. The stated goal is to "localize plunder" – to keep stolen money inside Egypt rather than smuggled abroad.

The satire operates on multiple levels:

· The name: "Illicit Public Funds" is an oxymoron (public funds are by definition lawful; calling them illicit is an admission of theft).

· The decree: A republican decree is the highest legal authority; it now legitimizes corruption.

· The watchdogs: The Central Bank, Public Funds Investigations, and the Central Auditing Organization – institutions meant to fight corruption – now manage it.

· Parliamentary approval: The legislature blesses the distribution.

· The distribution formula: One‑third to the Presidency (explicitly naming the head of state as a beneficiary), one‑third to debt repayment, and one‑third to the thieves (acknowledging thieves as legitimate recipients).

· "Localizing plunder": Instead of smuggling money abroad, the corruption stays within Egypt's economy – but in private hands.

Part One: Literary and Rhetorical Analysis – The Language of Institutionalized Theft

1. "A republican decree"

In Egypt, a republican decree (qarār jumhūrī) is issued by the President and carries the force of law. By using this as the instrument to establish the company, the text suggests that the highest legal authority is legitimizing corruption. The satire: the law itself becomes the vehicle for lawlessness.

2. "Holding Company for Illicit Public Funds"

A holding company (sharika qābiḍa) is a legitimate corporate structure for managing subsidiaries. "Illicit Public Funds" is a contradiction: public funds are, by definition, lawfully held. Adding "illicit" implies that the state admits its own funds are stolen. The satire: the state is laundering its own theft through corporate structures.

3. "Oversee the leakage and paths of stolen funds"

"Leakage" (tasrībāt) suggests that funds are intentionally channeled away from their proper destination. "Paths" (masārāt) treats corruption as a logistical system. The satire: the state is mapping the flow of stolen money as if it were a supply chain.

4. The catalogue of corrupt practices

The text lists:

· "Astronomical import commissions" – overpriced procurement.

· "The racket of senior officials" – bribery at the highest levels.

· "The contracts mafia" – bid‑rigging and favoritism.

· "Direct assignment" – no‑bid contracts.

· "Legalized embezzlement" – theft disguised as lawful expenses.

· "Under‑the‑table dirty operations" – secret deals.

This exhaustive list acknowledges that corruption is not occasional but systemic. The satire: the company is being chartered to manage all known forms of corruption.

5. "Capture all these enormous funds that drain the state budget and suck the blood of the poor"

The language of predation ("suck the blood") acknowledges that corruption hurts the poor. The satire: the state admits the problem but proposes to manage rather than eliminate it.

6. "A single container monitored and directed by the Central Bank... the Public Funds Investigations Department... the Central Auditing Organization"

The institutions that are supposed to fight corruption (the Central Bank's oversight functions, the police unit for financial crimes, the supreme audit institution) are now tasked with managing it. The satire: the watchdogs become the shepherds of the wolves.

7. "After being presented to and approved by the House of Representatives"

Parliamentary approval adds a veneer of democratic legitimacy. The satire: the legislature, which is supposed to hold the executive accountable, instead rubber‑stamps the distribution of stolen funds.

8. "One‑third to the Presidency"

This is the most explosive line. Explicitly allocating a share of stolen funds to the Presidency names the head of state as a direct beneficiary of corruption. The satire: the highest office is not merely tolerant of corruption but is an entitled participant.

9. "One‑third to debt repayment"

Debt servicing is a major drain on Egypt's budget. Using stolen funds to pay debt acknowledges that the state cannot meet its obligations through legitimate revenue. The satire: corruption becomes a fiscal tool.

10. "One‑third to the thieves of public funds"

This is the satirical climax. The thieves are named as legitimate recipients. The state does not prosecute them; it budgets for them. The satire: theft is no longer a crime; it is a profession with a fixed share.

11. "After the state's share of taxes and fees has been collected"

Even stolen funds are taxed. The satire: the state taxes everything, even crime.

12. "Without deducting any expenses, fees, gratuities, or incidentals"

The funds are delivered in full, then distributed. The satire: no middlemen take a cut – the state itself is the middleman.

13. "Unify the sources of public plunder, legalize them, and direct them into a domestic national container to localize them"

This is the ideological statement. "Localizing plunder" (tawṭīn al‑nahb) means keeping stolen money inside Egypt. Instead of smuggling funds abroad (which drains the economy), the funds remain within the country. The satire: the state has given up on stopping theft; it only wants to keep the proceeds at home.

14. "Instead of smuggling them abroad with no benefit to the country or its citizens"

The current situation: stolen money leaves the country. The proposed solution: keep it inside. The satire: the state's moral compass has shifted from preventing theft to domesticating it.

---

Part Two: Political Analysis – The Legalization of Corruption

1. From fighting corruption to managing it

The text satirizes a fundamental shift in governance: when the state cannot or will not eliminate corruption, it regulates it. The holding company is the ultimate expression of this logic: corruption becomes a state‑managed industry.

2. The Presidency as a beneficiary

Allocating a specific share to the Presidency (a third) is a direct accusation that the head of state profits from corruption. The satire: the regime does not merely tolerate corruption; it budgets for its own share.

3. Parliament as a rubber stamp

Parliamentary approval is required, but it is presented as a formality. The satire: Egypt's legislature has no real oversight power; it exists to legitimize executive decisions.

4. The watchdogs as collaborators

The Central Bank, the Public Funds Investigations Department, and the Central Auditing Organization are meant to be independent oversight bodies. In the text, they manage the corruption pipeline. The satire: the institutions of accountability have been captured.

5. "Localizing plunder" as a national priority

The state's concern is not the morality of theft but its macroeconomic impact. Stolen money that leaves the country is bad; stolen money that stays is acceptable. The satire: the state has abandoned ethics in favor of pragmatism.

6. The thieves as stakeholders

Allocating a third of the proceeds to thieves acknowledges them as legitimate actors. The satire: the state has given up on prosecution and instead co‑opts criminals as partners.

---

Part Three: Economic Analysis – The Arithmetic of Plunder

1. Corruption as a percentage of the budget

The text does not specify the total amount, but the implication is enormous: "enormous funds that drain the state budget." The satire: corruption is not a leak but a major fiscal category.

2. Debt repayment as a use of stolen funds

Egypt's debt service consumes a large portion of state revenues (often over 40% of the budget). Using stolen funds to pay debt means that creditors are indirectly financed by corruption. The satire: the international financial system is complicit.

3. The tax on illicit funds

Even stolen money is taxed. The satire: the state's revenue system is so comprehensive that it taxes crime.

4. "Localizing plunder" as import substitution

Instead of stolen money leaving the country (a capital flight problem), it stays inside. The satire: the state treats corruption as a form of import substitution – keeping capital at home, even if it is ill‑gotten.

5. No benefit to citizens

The source admits that under the current system, citizens receive no benefit. Under the new system, they still receive no benefit (the funds go to the Presidency, debt, and thieves). The satire: the citizen is excluded from both scenarios.

---

Part Four: The Text in Al‑Nadim's Project – The Corruption Trilogy

This text joins a series of satires on the institutionalization of corruption:

Text Institution Mechanism

Legalizing Corruption A law permitting a percentage of theft Setting limits on plunder

The Holding Company for Corruption A corporate entity Organizing theft

This Text A holding company for illicit funds Unifying, legalizing, localizing

The progression: from legal limits to corporate organization to a comprehensive state‑managed system.

---

Part Five: Deep Symbolic Meanings

1. "Illicit Public Funds" as an oxymoron

The phrase captures the contradiction: public funds should be lawful. The fact that they are called "illicit" is an admission that the state has stolen them. The satire: the state admits its own illegitimacy.

2. "One‑third to the Presidency" as a symbol of top‑down corruption

The share allocated to the Presidency symbolizes that corruption flows upward. The head of state is not an innocent bystander but an entitled beneficiary.

3. "One‑third to the thieves" as a symbol of co‑optation

The thieves are not arrested; they are given a share. The satire: the state has made peace with predators by cutting them in.

4. "Localizing plunder" as a symbol of pragmatic amorality

The state does not care about right and wrong; it cares about where the money goes. The satire: ethics are replaced by economics.

5. "Parliamentary approval" as a symbol of democratic cover

The legislature's role is to legitimize, not to check. The satire: democracy is a fig leaf for authoritarian plunder.

---

Part Six: Conclusion – The State That Budgets for Theft

This text is one of Al‑Nadim's most devastating critiques of the Egyptian political economy. It imagines a state that has given up on fighting corruption and instead organizes it as an industry. The holding company is not a fantasy; it is a satirical projection of existing practices: corruption is already systematic; the only missing element is formal recognition.

The deeper message: When corruption becomes institutionalized, the distinction between the state and criminal enterprise disappears. The same institutions that should enforce the law – the Central Bank, the audit office, the police, the parliament – become managers of the plunder. The citizen pays, the thieves profit, the debt is serviced, and the Presidency takes its share. And the state calls this progress.

---

Satirical Conclusion

The board of the Holding Company for Illicit Public Funds held its inaugural meeting. The Minister of Finance attended. The Governor of the Central Bank attended. The head of the Public Funds Investigations Department attended. "We have captured 100 billion pounds this quarter," the minister announced. "How shall we distribute it?" "One‑third to the Presidency," someone said. "One‑third to debt," another said. "And one‑third to the thieves," a third said. "Approved," the minister said. Outside, a citizen paid his electricity bill. He did not know that his money had already been counted.
