Removal of self-interested managers by implementing the notification of conflict of interest

Removal of self-interested managers by implementing the notification of conflict of interest

The implementation of the notice of conflict of interest in the organization of the construction engineering system will make these organizations return to the law by exposing and removing the self-interested managers.

The story of the conflict of interest in the organizations of the construction engineering system goes back to the period of Abbas Akhundi’s presence in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
When he, with a notification called “conflict of interest”, the employees in departments and organizations that have the duty of approving, checking and controlling engineering services (or they benefit from engineering services in any way, as long as they are working in these departments) from providing engineering services forbade In this way, the presence of these people in the board of directors of the construction engineering system organizations of the provinces was prevented.
This notice caused a controversy because it limited the interests of those covered by the directive and was objected to by them, so they filed a complaint to the Administrative Court of Justice to cancel it, but the Court of Justice did not consider this notice to be illegal and approved it.
 Among the most important subjects of this notice are the members of the board of directors, managers and employees of the building engineering system organizations. In line with the circulars related to the conflict of interest during the registration for the election of the board of directors of the 8th period of the engineering system organizations of the provinces, a commitment was taken from the candidates to comply with the relevant notification. Nevertheless, on the eve of holding the ninth term of the board of directors of the construction engineering system organization of the provinces of the country, there is a notification of the conflict of interests of opponents from the same group whose interests are at risk.
Here are some important points that board members, managers, employees, and former MP advisors should pay attention to;
1- Participation in the composition of the board of directors of construction engineering system organizations is voluntary and honorary; It is obvious that intellectuals should be placed in the position that the principle of preferring collective interests to individual interests is a priority for them. Now, if a person feels that he will be harmed by being on the board of the engineering system, it is better to start his own business because this field requires self-made and unnecessary people.
2- It is said that the implementation of the notification of conflict of interest prevents the presence of efficient government managers in the composition of the board of directors of the engineering system, which is a tale of an upside-down shoe. Because the organizations of the engineering system are the place for the training of efficient managers. The practice they acquire and prepare to manage at the macro level of the country. A look at the history of the engineering system indicates that many members of the board of directors of the engineering system later reached the top management and even the ministry.
3- They argue why the conflict of interests should first start in the engineering system and why it doesn’t start from government departments and organizations, which reminds of the famous proverb “Death is good, but for the neighbor”. This is the argument that some board members of organizations and people close to them have. Instead of the educated people of the country voluntarily demanding the implementation of the issue of conflict of interest in the engineering system, they have looted the dignity of the engineering community to support a few members of the board of directors who have broken the covenant and those who have not fulfilled their commitment.
The implementation of the notice of conflict of interest in the engineering system organizations will make the engineering system organizations return to the law by removing the self-interested managers. Based on this, the officials of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development should continue their work with strength and not be swayed by the uproar, because correcting the wrong heresies is the work of great men and history makers.
