CAIRO: Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on Monday stuck by a controversial decree granting him sweeping powers, his spokesman said, after a meeting with the country's top judges.
There is "no change to the constitutional declaration," Yasser Ali told reporters.
But he said the president clarified to the judges that any irrevocable decisions apply only to issues related "to his sovereign powers" and stressed the temporary nature of the decree.
