Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum conducted a spot check and ordered a shake-up of the city state's management, including the retirement of nine senior officials,His surprise spot check of government offices at 7.30am and found a significant number of employees absent.
He made an unannounced visit to the Land Department and Department of Economic Development office and finding it empty, an exercise which was intended to 'send a message' according to Dubai media,Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum casually wandered around the deserted office with empty seats, picking up an employee's book and flicking through it. He walked past a framed portrait of himself on the wall but couldn't find anyone to actually talk to.
The visit should not have caught so many people out as Sheikh Mohammed is known for his early-morning inspections 'to ensure government services are up to Dubai's globally admired standards'
