Myanmar President Thein Sein has assigned 23 deputy ministers as President’s Special Taskforce to deliver reforms more effectively, according to the press release on the President Office’s website.
The President called a meeting with them on September 27, and he appointed the deputy ministers as the chairpersons of 26 newly formed Cabinet Sub-committees or the “Delivery Units”.
“Under the Cabinet Committees led by Vice-President and Ministers, 26 Cabinet Sub-committees/ Delivery Units are already formed. As you deputy ministers are appointed as the leaders and chairpersons of the sub-committees, you all are assigned as dependable persons of President’s special taskforce,” President Thein Sein was quoted as saying in the press release.
Thein Sein also said the ministers and government departments are so busy with routine tasks as well as amending laws, by-laws and procedures that they do not have sufficient time to keep in touch with the grassroots levels.
As it also takes time to streamline the procedures at government offices, and to understand the mindset and behaviours of the general public, the deputy ministers are assigned as the special taskforce or the leaders of Delivery Units in order to devise more effective ways than the traditional methods in carrying out the reform tasks, said the President.
The newly formed Cabinet Sub-committees cover many diverse areas ranging from foreign policies, tourism, transportation and construction to democracy and human rights as well as ethnics and peacemaking.
