H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has helped to settle resident’s debts worth over Dh1.150 billion with the help of a special communication channel called ‘Mabara’.
This channel brought the government’s attention to numerous cases, debtors and individuals in need, leading to the establishment of the Sharjah Citizens Debt Relief Committee, which helped resolve these financial obligations.
A top official highlighted how Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, issued directives to government departments and institutions to open direct communication channels with the public on the sidelines of the event.
“He noticed that these channels needed to be improved for the desired communication. Thus, he ordered the launch of the ‘Direct Line’ program on radio and television to provide live communication channels to the public. It was later observed that some cases could not be aired publicly, which led to the creation of a special communication channel called ‘Mabara’ for these sensitive situations,” said Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council (SMC).
This announcement was made on the sidelines of the International Government Communication Forum (IGCF 2024) that kicked off on Wednesday.
Themed ‘Agile Governments… Innovative Communication’, the two-day forum features more than 160 discussions, debates, workshops, and youth capacity-building activities led by 250 international guests and experts.
