The MoU was signed by the Undersecretary for Joint Services at the MoJ, Mr. Abdulrahman Al-Khorayef, and Secretary General of the Board of Directors and Director General of "Mashroat, Eng. Ahmed bin Motair Al-Balawi. Also present at the signing ceremony were the Deputy Minister of Justice, His Excellency Shaikh Saad bin Mohammed Al-Saif, and Assistant Minister of Economy and Planning, His Excellency Khalid bin Saud Al Shunaifi.
Commenting on the accord, Al-Khorayef stated, “The MoU supports the MoJ’s drive to ensure that all projects are managed and delivered on time and to the highest standards and specifications by bolster partnerships with national sectors, agencies and programs. In addition, it affirms the MoJ’s commitment to constructive collaboration to achieve the aspirations of the Kingdom and its vision.”
For his part, Eng. Al-Balawi remarked, “The signing is the latest of numerous accords ‘Mashroat’ has signed with various government sectors to spearhead the transformation process. In doing so, we are empowering the project and facilities management offices in public agencies to develop a flexible environment to manage their projects and facilities more efficiently, which in turn increases the effectiveness and enhances the quality of our national infrastructure."
"This agreement will boost transparency as it allows for monitoring and assessing the performance of project and facilities management offices in the public sector. The resulting improvement in infrastructure will lead to better services to individuals and society as a whole in areas such as transport, housing, urban planning, natural and social environment, healthcare, economic and educational opportunities and security, thereby improving the overall quality of life in the Kingdom,” Al-Balawi added.
This cooperation comes in implementation of Royal Decree No (47004) dated 16/9/1439 AH, pursuant to the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution which states that public entities shall establish project management offices in cooperation with “Mashroat” to follow up, coordinate and manage their projects and ensure their delivery.
