Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal says that as a result of the public administration reform, the maximum number of civil servants in the central executive authorities and their territorial units should decrease by about 10%.
“Efficiency in the work of civil servants should be in the first place. The government is taking important steps to complete the reform of public administration. As part of this initiative, the maximum number of civil servants in the central administrative office and their territorial units should be reduced by about 10%,” Shmyhal said in the Telegram channel.
The prime minister said that a bill is also being prepared to reform the system of remuneration of civil servants based on the classification of positions, which will make it impossible to pay allowances to officials on a subjective basis and will increase the prestige of the civil service.
“The key steps in the implementation of the project were discussed at a meeting with the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Finance Ministry, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the National Civil Service Agency. These four departments will be the first to introduce a new financial model. And then, the remuneration system should make money in other public institutions,” Shmyhal said.
