Equity Party Commends Decision to Permanently Appoint Public Media and SOMELEC Employees
A Step Toward Social Justice and Institutional Stability
The Equity Party (El Insaf) has expressed its strong support for the recent government decision to permanently appoint contract workers in the public media sector and the Mauritanian Electricity Company (SOMELEC). This move is seen as a significant step toward promoting social justice and ensuring job security for hundreds of employees who have long served under temporary contracts. The party emphasized that this decision reflects the government’s commitment to improving the living conditions of its citizens and strengthening public institutions.
According to the Equity Party, the regularization of these employees is not only a recognition of their dedication and service but also a necessary measure to enhance the efficiency and professionalism of public services. By stabilizing the workforce, the government is laying the groundwork for more consistent and reliable service delivery in both the media and energy sectors.
Positive Impacts on Workers and Public Services
The decision to grant permanent status to these employees is expected to yield several benefits, both for the workers themselves and for the broader public. The Equity Party highlighted the following key advantages:
- Job Security: Employees will now enjoy the stability and benefits that come with permanent employment, including access to social security and career development opportunities.
- Improved Morale: The move is likely to boost employee morale and motivation, leading to higher productivity and better service delivery.
- Institutional Strengthening: With a more stable workforce, public institutions like national media outlets and SOMELEC can operate more effectively and plan for the long term.
The Equity Party also noted that this decision aligns with the broader national strategy of promoting good governance and social equity. It serves as a model for other sectors where temporary employment remains prevalent, encouraging similar reforms across the public administration.
Equity Party Reaffirms Support for Government Reforms
In its statement, the Equity Party reaffirmed its full support for the government’s reform agenda, particularly those initiatives aimed at enhancing the welfare of citizens and promoting transparency and fairness in public employment. The party praised the leadership of President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, under whose guidance such progressive decisions are being implemented.
The party also called on all stakeholders, including civil society and political actors, to support these reforms and contribute to building a more just and inclusive society. It emphasized that the permanent appointment of public media and SOMELEC employees is a clear indication of the government’s responsiveness to the needs of its people and its dedication to sustainable development.
Conclusion: A Milestone in Public Sector Reform
The Equity Party’s commendation of the decision to regularize public media and SOMELEC employees underscores the importance of fair employment practices in achieving social justice and institutional efficiency. This move not only improves the lives of hundreds of workers but also strengthens the foundations of public service in Mauritania. As the country continues on its path of reform and development, such decisions serve as vital milestones in building a more equitable and prosperous society for all.
