In a move to enforce discipline and ensure the delivery of public services, Egyptian Governor of Eastern Province, Engineer Hazem Al-Ashmoni, has decided to impose disciplinary actions on 38 employees of the local administrative apparatus. The decision comes after an investigation revealed that these employees had committed administrative violations and showed negligence in their work. They were found to have left their workstations before the end of official working hours without providing a valid excuse or permission.
According to the governor, the disciplinary actions were prompted by a report from a committee of the Field Follow-up Management at the province's headquarters. The committee conducted surprise visits to various local and service units in several centers, cities, and neighborhoods, including Zagazig, Al-Husseiniya, Faqous, Minya Al-Qamh, Derb Njam, Abu Hammam, Hehia, Kafr Sakr, and Al-Qareen. The committee aimed to verify the discipline of work and the quality of services provided to citizens.
During these surprise visits, it was found that 38 employees had abandoned their posts, leading to disruptions in the services provided to citizens. Following this discovery, a memorandum was prepared and submitted to the governor, who then decided to impose disciplinary actions on the errant employees. The governor emphasized that these actions are part of a broader effort to maintain discipline and improve public services.
The governor has also instructed the heads of centers and cities to activate the role of field monitoring in various government institutions. This move aims to tighten control and supervision over employees and achieve discipline in work, ultimately leading to the provision of better services to citizens. The governor's directives are seen as a step towards enhancing accountability and efficiency in the public sector.
The disciplinary actions taken against the 38 employees include referral to the legal affairs department at the province's headquarters for further investigation. This investigation will likely examine the circumstances surrounding the employees' absence and determine the appropriate penalties. The governor's decision underscores the government's commitment to enforcing regulations and ensuring that public employees adhere to their duties.
Engineer Hazem Al-Ashmoni has been actively involved in efforts to improve governance and public services in the Eastern Province. His decision to impose disciplinary actions on the 38 employees reflects his administration's focus on accountability and transparency.

The incident highlights the challenges faced by local governments in ensuring that employees adhere to their duties and maintain the required level of discipline.
