Dozens of private security guards working in institutions affiliated with the culture sector in the Oriental region are facing a dire social situation due to the delay in disbursing their financial dues for a period exceeding three consecutive months. This delay has placed this group between increasing family obligations and the process of transferring security management between companies.
Informed sources have stated that private security guards at various cultural facilities in the region are experiencing a state of severe discontent after finding themselves without a financial resource for more than 90 days. Testimonies from the field confirm that this situation has had serious social consequences, affecting the purchasing power of these workers and their inability to meet the basic requirements of their families, including rent obligations, daily living expenses, and the educational obligations of their children.
The same sources attribute the origin of the problem to an overlap in administrative and financial procedures; they indicate that the delay is mainly related to the financial transfer procedure.
What made matters worse is that this financial setback coincided with the process of changing the company that won the security contract. This administrative transition made the wage situation "suspended," as the new company, which has not yet begun to disburse the dues, lacks clear guarantees that ensure the continuity of the workers' material rights during this transitional period.
In light of this situation, the affected parties are demanding that the responsible authorities, headed by the Regional Directorate of Culture in the Oriental region and the central services of the ministry, urgently intervene to accelerate the pace of disbursing the outstanding wages. The guards also emphasize the need to establish mechanisms to ensure that such scenarios are not repeated with each change of the specifications or the contracting companies, considering that the worker's rights must remain separate from any procedural complications.
