His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, recently reprimanded three government officials for implementing a 'closed-door' policy that restricted public access to their offices. The officials had established large private offices and limited public entry, citing the UAE's digital initiatives as a justification for their actions.
Sheikh Mohammed highlighted that such practices are inconsistent with Dubai's long-standing tradition of open-door governance, which prioritizes direct engagement with the public. He emphasized that the core mission of the Dubai Government is to serve the people and simplify their lives, regardless of advancements in technology.
This move reinforces the UAE’s commitment to maintaining transparency and accessibility in its governance, ensuring that the needs of the community remain at the forefront.
