The Tunisian Ministry of Economy and Planning has announced plans to conduct periodic audits of public works site workers to prevent individuals from receiving multiple subsidies. This move aims to ensure that only eligible workers receive support. The ministry has clarified that workers with disabilities or severe family medical conditions can receive both social security allocations and construction site allowances.

According to the ministry, some workers have been removed from the social security allocation list because they no longer meet eligibility criteria or have voluntarily withdrawn. The periodic audits will help identify workers who are receiving multiple allocations, which is prohibited by current regulations, except in specific cases. The ministry is working with regional governments, relevant ministries, and social security funds to verify the list of workers.

The audits will be conducted in coordination with various stakeholders, including the Ministries of Finance, Social Affairs, Employment, and Vocational Training. This collaborative effort aims to ensure that public works site workers who receive subsidies comply with the regulations. Workers found to be receiving multiple allocations will have their subsidies adjusted accordingly.

The Ministry of Economy and Planning has responded to a written question from two deputies regarding the eligibility criteria for public works site workers to receive social security allocations and construction site allowances. The ministry's clarification aims to address concerns and ensure that subsidies are distributed fairly and efficiently.

The periodic audits will help the ministry to better manage the public works site program and prevent abuse of the subsidy system. By verifying the eligibility of workers, the ministry can ensure that those who need support the most receive it. The audits will also help to identify areas for improvement in the subsidy distribution process.

The Ministry of Economy and Planning is committed to transparency and accountability in the management of public funds. The periodic audits of public works site workers are part of this effort, aimed at ensuring that subsidies are distributed efficiently and effectively. The ministry will continue to work with stakeholders to improve the subsidy distribution process.

The Tunisian government has emphasized its commitment to supporting vulnerable populations, including workers with disabilities or severe family medical conditions. The periodic audits of public works site workers are part of this effort, aimed at ensuring that those who need support the most receive it. The government will continue to work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its subsidy programs.
