Shraideh said
that the outputs of the committee will span future governments, asserting that
there are Royal assurances to implement its recommendations, which would lead
to the establishment of a comprehensive roadmap, and an action plan to
modernize public administration and streamline and upgrade procedures.
The committee
will announce its outputs next June, said Shraideh, asserting that it is not
concerned with the dismissal of public sector employees, rather, developing the
government’s apparatus, and the human resource requirements of ministries and
institutions, including those for leadership positions.
Shraideh said the committee has no intention to
abolish the role of the
Civil Service Bureau any time soon, adding that the
committee is working on three key components; a review of legislation to align
with best international practices and promoting efficiency and institutional
values, structural development of the government’s apparatus and enhancing the
performance of public servants, and improving services to citizens through
automation, and upgrading the health, education, transport sectors and social
welfare.
For his part, Shboul
said that the public sector modernization committee, chaired by Prime Minister
Bisher Al-Khasawneh, was given a six-month time frame to come up with a plan
aimed at modernizing the public sector administration.
