The Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Abdulaziz Al-Majed seeks to address the administrative shortcomings and the failure to activate the digital transformation in the ministry, which resulted in the accumulation of debts on the ministry’s employees from previous years, due to the errors in the electronic system.

An informed source told Al-Rai that the director of the minister’s office asked the undersecretary to report on the observations on the actual housing of the ministry’s employees and the powers granted to some of them on the “SAP” system and digital transformation, within three working days so that the minister can do what he deems appropriate according to the responses which may result in transfer or suspension of some officials.

He added that the minister’s office’s request came based on repeated complaints by some employees who staged a sit-in in the past few days, about a defect in the “SAP” system in registering types of leave as well as housing for employees, and ignoring the treatment of the defect by the concerned officials, until financial irregularities accumulated.

The source pointed out that the request includes obtaining a list of all the names of the employees of the Human Resources and Administrative Development Department according to their actual placement, provided that these lists are approved by the heads of departments according to the placement of the employees of each department, with a report on the employees who have a fingerprint exemption, and the reasons thereof.

It also includes identifying the official responsible for exempting employees from fingerprinting at the Ministry, the employees who have powers over the fingerprint system (attendance and departure), their job titles, the entity that grants these powers to these employees, and the standard followed in that regard.
