Hassan.. and the 183 Witnesses

Ala Al-Qaralah

3 min read

The results of Prime Minister Dr. Jafar Hassan's field tours over the past two years have not only been about inspecting sites and listening to demands, but also about following up on what can be done, what has been accomplished, and what is still under implementation. Visiting 183 sites in various governorates of the Kingdom, completing many required interventions in 125 sites, and continuing work in 58 sites according to specific schedules is absolutely not easy and deserves praise.

The most important thing is that these tours have placed the needs of the people directly in front of the responsible person, away from administrative barriers and office reports, which have always formed steel walls between the government and the citizens. Hence, many interventions were made in response to what the "government" heard from the citizens, and what was conveyed to it from the deputies, governors, administrative rulers, and municipal councils of observations and needs.

When we read the details of what happened during these tours, we find that the issue is not related to one sector only, but to various sectors. In health, interventions reached 15 hospitals and 26 health centers serving more than 6.5 million citizens, and in education, 31 schools were built and rehabilitated benefiting more than 23 thousand students, in addition to the development of vocational and technical training centers and institutes.

In the economy and production, the follow-up included 33 factories and establishments in the agricultural and industrial sectors, which reflects on more than 27 thousand workers, and in tourism and the environment, the tours extended to 19 sites, while public gardens, recreational areas, youth, sports, and social care received a clear share of attention.

And what is important in these tours is returning to the same field to verify and follow up the implementation by the President himself, and here the follow-up becomes more important than the visit, and the commitment to the schedule becomes more important than announcing the project.

In conclusion, the government that goes to the field puts itself to the test, which is a test of results, not intentions, and achievement, not promises. Therefore, the success of this experiment is not measured by the number of tours and the number of sites covered, but by the number of problems that have actually ended, the number of services that have improved, and the number of citizens who felt that their demands have moved from talk to implementation.
