When I wrote the essay “was blessed Prince” which was published on November 6, 2011 and I stated in the essay that we do not doubt at all that the Emir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani tries as much as he can to create administrative systems which enable absolute transparency and transmission of correct information in a clear and fast fashion and does not allow withholding any information about everyone and those responsible, assisted by the Heir Apparent H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister H E Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani. And we were subjected to the presence of (some) officials of the central and who guardian of the country entrusted them on the country and the people transmit to the guardian that the situation of the country and people all over completely, but you see them cooperating with each other to highlight the bright side of their achievements in the service of citizens and residents, and trying every energy create a barrier or Big Sur between guardian and his people. 

It was only a few days later on November 29, 2011 that Emiri Decree No (75) for the year 2011 to establish Administrative Control Authority and transparency was issued. It aims to achieve control, transparency and integrity of occupation, and fighting against corruption in all its forms and manifestations. And what made me admire the Emiri decision that the voice of the citizen will reach the Emir through the Authority’s research complaints submitted by individuals for violation of the laws or negligence in the performance of job or work duties, but this paragraph added the importance of citizens to connect their proposals as they consider fit or feel to improve services and regularity of the workflow and speed of its achievements. But, the other important paragraph other important that the organisation must examine and study what journalism publish, and other mass communication from complaints or investigations, dealing with aspects of negligence or Insufficiency or mismanagement or exploitation, and this paragraph expressly stipulated to protect mass communication as may be exposed to it in this regard. And until the Emir gives credibility and strength to the work of the organisation, then it has decided its subordination directly to the Heir Apparent, but the Emiri decision in Article (13) cited those conditions to whom he appoints a member in the Authority and we have our own view. The first condition is “to be a Qatari citizen”, so if there is no one, it is permitted to appoint “non-Qataris”. And we hope that there is no permission to appoint non-Qatari, because the organisation work is sensitive and not permitted for non-Qataris to familiarise themselves and that the loyalty of the Qatari first and foremost to Qatar and not to others and was supposed to read the first condition as follows: “to be a Qatari citizen, if there is no it is permitted to assign non-Qataris to specific tasks and for a period ends with completion the issue in question and research”. “The powers of the Authority (Article (14)) are many, but the most serious is the call who sees hearing their statements, and the request to suspend or temporarily remove the employee from work or function. And its risk originates from the experiences of the society from past practices where we found many cases where their respective owners were excluded from their jobs were transferred to the judiciary and after deliberations lasted for years and found that the elimination of healing acquitted of all charges attributed to them. We do not disagree that the regulatory body, and do not take provisions (see interview head of the Middle newspaper of 3/1/2012), but the question remains is how will the body may be healed after deliberations and foundations that will compensate for the crimes right to be detained in captivity for long periods of interrogation and who would destroy their reputations in the community because of this act and who will be dismissed from his job or office because of his absence from work and who would be subjected to psychological pressure may lead to burning his fuses of his brain.

And I tried to know who will observe the Authority in its work, and I didn’t find in the text of Emiri Decree and reference of that, but I found that the President of the Authority in the journalistic interview saying: files and documents will be observed from by (public) prosecution, but the courts are that will observe the work of the Authority. And this matter will make the Authority to be like opponent and arbitrator because all associates of each of those parties are from government employees, and the other problem is how will observe the subordinates as from the functional structure the work of the Authority headed by someone? And who will observe (public) prosecution  or the courts positively?

Administrative Control Authority and transparency is a government official independent interested in public human uprightness and integrity and strugglying corruption (anti-corruption) and wish to seek to activate its role in the creation of real control on the tenders, particularly those tenders awarded to some people by the manner of laying or manner award or guidance which deprives of them serious Qatari companies that their names are not associated with the name of an important personality. At the same time, the Authority must observe and control all that is happening in the process of the biddings which will be laid on the other unjustly.
