Eight councils to emerge into one [Archives:2002/36/Local News]

The governmental cabinet headed by Abdulqadir ba Jammal discussed in its weekly meeting last Tuesday a memorandum by the Prime Minister on the restructuring of the Supreme Economic, Oil and Investment Council. The memorandum called for the merge of eight councils and committees into one council. The new council’s task will be to look after economic and energy matters and to utilize the so far fruitful results of the economic, financial and administrative reforms.
The memorandum emphasized the need to have integrated functions, which should neither duplicate nor conflict with the mandate of other organizations. The memorandum was approved by the cabinet and was referred to the Ministry of Civil Service and Pensions to formulate it into a legal and organizational structure.
In the light of the discussions and debates of cabinet on the memorandum, a decision was also made to assign the Ministry of Civil Service and Pensions to come up with new organizational charts for all concerned ministries and agencies to accelerate the pace of government performance and to achieve the target objective of a smaller government with a greater impact.
