Some public infrastructures currently being implemented in the wilaya of Ghardaïa are slow in their completion and are sometimes of questionable quality. Often, these even deteriorate well before they are completed.
This is the distressing observation made by many citizens. During his field visits, Wali Abdallah Abinouar did not fail to urge those concerned to respect deadlines and to adopt a new dynamic in terms of sustainable road infrastructure.
With execution deadlines not respected and all the inconveniences that this can entail, the population is often indignant to see that their patience and the ordeal endured have been in vain, given the delays in the delivery of certain works.
Delays observed in the progress of works are often blamed on the companies responsible for carrying out the projects. Concerning construction work on public buildings or asphalting of roads, for example, a few months after the official launch of the work, the companies justify themselves either because the basic study had significant inadequacies, or lack of construction materials or labor, or simply delays in payment of their bills by the administration. In light of all this data, it clearly appears that the work cannot be delivered on the set date.
Based precisely on the presidential guidelines and the new concept of the high authority of the country, which advocate openness, proximity and listening to citizens regarding their demands, the parties concerned are called to spare no effort to find suitable solutions and adequate, particularly in the areas of basic infrastructure (roads, sanitation, housing, electrification, drinking water, education, public health) aimed at the well-being of populations.
It is with this very specific objective, and for the good development of local businesses, the improvement of the living conditions of citizens and above all a better future, necessary for good management, and the remediation of any slippage which could hinder development. local, that the wali of Ghardaïa, Abdallah Abinouar made an impromptu outing, the day before Eid-el-Aldha, to various construction sites underway across the capital of the wilaya, including construction in progress of a college in the Touzouz district.
During his visit to the field, the head of the executive was able to note that the company responsible for carrying out the work at the college in question is experiencing considerable delays. In addition, this school building should open its doors as soon as the next school year begins. Indeed, what is happening in certain municipalities in the wilaya of Ghardaïa breaks the ambient opacity in which a population lives in oblivion and sometimes abandonment. This is what pushed some neighborhood associations to organize a multitude of protest movements in front of the wilaya against the inadequacy observed in local development.
And for good reason, “the endemic situation of these remote and landlocked localities has not changed one iota, despite all the promises emanating from certain ministers visiting the wilaya, which have remained without follow-up”, believe certain presidents of neighborhood associations in their letters addressed to the wali, thus deploring the lack or slowness in the realization of several projects and micro-projects undertaken here and there across certain districts and communes of the wilaya, namely sanitation works, river banks and roads, asphalt, paving, housing, schools, health, etc., which suffer from glaring deficiencies. In short, the concern affects a good number of neighborhoods within certain municipalities of the wilaya.
Listening to the people concerned, their grievances, entirely well-founded and justified, have an exclusively socio-economic character, namely road infrastructure, housing, hospitals, health… In a large proportion, the victims are mainly from certain neighborhoods and remote communities. Economically marginalized, the vicious circle of extreme poverty threatens them. The morale of these residents (men, women and children) suffers greatly. And this is only the visible face of a huge and deep iceberg.
The valiant intervention of Abdallah Abinouar, during the debate closing his field visits, expressed a great wish for a new dynamic in terms of sustainable road infrastructure built on time, thus improving social life across the all regions of M’Zab, by requesting more support from the public authorities.
