This meeting falls within the embodiment of the government’s directives related to upgrading governance in the management of public facilities and enhancing the effectiveness of inspection and monitoring agencies.
The Minister stressed the strategic importance of the field role of the labor inspector, as he is a key actor in implementing labor, employment and social security legislation and accompanying economic and social institutions in their respect for the provisions of the labor law and various relevant legal texts, and upgrading the work environment in a way that contributes to supporting the national economy, stressing that the continuous evaluation of sectoral work programs represents a pivotal basis in formulating future strategic visions for the sector.
