Sheikh Mohammed announces best, worst performing government services centres

(Bloomberg) — In July, the ruler of Dubai promised to reveal the country’s worst- and best-performing government-service providers. On Saturday, he carried out his pledge.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, acting in his capacity as United Arab Emirates prime minister, tweeted a list of the nation’s five worst and best centers. Managers at the worst will be immediately replaced, while teams at the best will get two-month bonuses.

It isn’t Sheikh Mohammed’s first attempt at improving government performance.

It was followed by the dismissal of several top officials.

- Emirates Post Group (Al Khan center, Sharjah)
- Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (Muhaisnah preventive medicine center, Dubai)
- General Pension & Social Security Authority (Sharjah center)
- Ministry of Community Development (Bani Yas social affairs center, Abu Dhabi)
- Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (Tawteen center, Fujairah)
The Best:
- Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (Fujairah center)
- Ministry of Education (Ajman center)
- Ministry of Interior (Traffic and licensing center, Ajman)
- Ministry of Interior (Wasit police station, Sharjah)
- Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme (Ras Al Khaimah center)
