The Provincial Directorate of Communal Services (SERVICOM) in Las Tunas is working on improving its performance in its main functions for this year, after 2022 economic limitations that prevented the optimal development of the entity.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The greatest challenge, according to its director, engineer Grisel Alonso Guerrero, is to maintain the qualification of a clean city that guarantees the satisfaction of the people of Las Tunas in the sweeping and collection of solid waste to its final destination, but several deficiencies prevail, especially in material and human resources.

The city of Las Tunas has reduced specialized transportation since it has only two collection trucks and three ample trucks concentrated in the main avenues, so its main workforce is the so-called wagoners, who are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation of the communities.

In the last few months this labor force, which represents 86 percent of the workers in the sector, has suffered a considerable exodus, since out of the 250 that used to work in the main municipality, at this moment only 100 are working; data that pieces of evidence, mainly, the economic demotivation due to the inflation that the country is going through.

Alonso Guerrero assures the Cuban News Agency that one of the most elementary services that they intend to perfect for the present almanac is the funeral and necrological services, specifically those related to the production and commercialization of flowers, a line of great social impact that has suffered marked deficiencies in the territory.

The province has a fleet of 14 hearses, of which only four are in operation, which prevents largely meeting the demand, so it is expected the entry of two new cars as well as the recovery and maintenance of existing ones, as there are families who still do not accept the so-called alternative cars.

Despite the shortages generated by the nation's economic panorama, SERVICOM foresees the transition to the business system in 2023 in search of greater efficiency that will result in a growing monetary incentive for its workers and, therefore, in the improvement of the quality in the fulfillment of the institution's social purpose.
