Musavat concerned with gov’t reform

The Musavat Chairman Isa Gambar and chairman of the party's economic commission Gubad Ibadoglu have divulged their suggestions concerning the Regulations and Structure of the Cabinet of Ministers.

Mr. Ibadoglu said the proposed administrative reform program calls for the establishment of 12 ministries, 6 committees, 10 agencies and 7 services in lieu of the existing 14 ministries, 18 committees, around 100 state companies, concerns, councils, commissions, etc.

Besides, the program envisions to retain 5 ministries and 2 departments directly responsible to the President. Based on the proposal, there would be 4 vice-premiers, while ministers for finance and for economic development and trade would be equal in rank to vice-premiers.

Isa Gambar said Musavat is well ahead of all other political parties for the number of documents, programs and draft laws it has prepared. The economic commission alone has prepared 12 such documents, he said.*
