Since the start of the law of reconciliation on construction violations and officially opened the door for submission in May 2024, citizens have been good for the possibility of legalizing their legal conditions and obtaining basic services such as water, sanitation and electricity formally ensuring their stability, but the hopes of citizens collided with a different reality, as procedures for reconciliation go very slowly, despite the repeated government assignments that the procedures and the speed of deciding in the files should be done.
In the first weeks of opening the door for reconciliation, the new governorates and cities witnessed a remarkable activity from the officials and the relevant committees, where the steps were continuing, and to go to the ground to listen to the citizens, but this momentum quickly scared, and the daily follow -up was absent, to return complaints again on the complications of routine and the slow completion of files.
The questions are increasing about the reasons for the concerned authorities stopping the announcement of the official numbers and statistics of the number of applicants for reconciliation or the size of the files in which they were decided.
Citizens are wondering whether the governors, heads of centers and neighborhoods are still following the file with the same strength that they started, or if there is a state of indolence as a result of the absence of supreme control, especially since the weak direct follow -up of the executive leaders creates a state of laziness among employees, and leads to the alienation of citizens from dealing with government offices.
The government has given a deadline for reconciliation 3 times in a row, and expectations indicate the possibility of announcing a fourth deadline next month, although the law stipulated that the period of work not only exceeds three years. Citizens fear that the new deadline will pass without any tangible progress if the field follow -up is not intensified by the governors and the heads of cities, and to be in technology centers to listen to the demands of citizens and respond to their inquiries.
The file of reconciliation on construction violations is one of the most sensitive and important files, not only because it is related to the interests of millions of citizens, but also because it represents an essential pillar to end the chaos of the random construction, and open the door for the state to devote himself to other development files.
Hence the urgent need for extensive field tours of the officials, a careful follow -up to the work of the committees, and the direct listening to the complaints of citizens.
