Where are the second rung of national employees? Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:39

I want to understand while the national sustainable development focuses on the human being as its goal, does that mean the Qatari citizen or the human being in general?

A non-Qatari employee presented the Comprehensive Urban Plan submitted by the Department of Urban Planning at the Ministry of Municipality while the Qataris staff

remained seated.

The presented plan talked about an environment which is unknown in the country. When they talk about the perceptions they failed to translate what was proposed by the citizen. I do not think that the voice of citizens didn’t reach them, except if they do not hear or read about it or they are interested only in their own perceptions stemming from their inclinations and tools to serve their interests.

If the human being is the base of development, so where are the Qatari employees of second rank if the first rank is formed of a mixture of two hybrids including foreigners and national officials who trust foreigners more?. Where are our youth, our children and our future?

These foreigners will not stay for us and they are currently not benefitting us. Whatever they provide, as we have seen in their distorted plan, is a pure commercial pattern which neither touched the internal class of the nation and the problems of its roads, streets and cities nor it provided solutions to its problems.

It is wonderful that the international companies draw the renaissance of our cities and the greatness of our roads, tunnels and bridges, but the marks of their carelessness remain clear in their outputs as if they address a people whose growth is suspended and lacks future vision and ambition and as if its airport doesn’t receive growing batches of expatriates of different colours and nationalities.

Where are the national companies and the Qatari young engineers and workers in the field of construction? Why were they excluded from the designed projects which lost their social identity that reflect the environment and translate its reality? Did their bosses not hear about the Qatarisation policy and the national goal that focuses on the preparation and training of national cadres and to assume the responsibility?

Do we retreat back? Do our development plans break down and disappear behind profit-seeking companies that gain profits on the ruins of our needs, aspirations and resources of our country? Is there any control on the outputs compared to the requirements?

Should we support our existence and preserve our gains and resources or should we squander it while the victim is watching?
