Governmental Institutes Lazy in Restructuring

Quite a few government-supported institutes are being lazy in their managerial restructuring, the Budget Planning Committee(BPC) warned on December 27.
The BPC assessed 64 governmental public, trust and contributory institutes on their efforts to self-downsize their operations. It concluded that some of them were in bad shape because they were passively reforming. BPC stated there will be serious penalties including budget curtailments if reform is not done successfully.
The investigation revealed that several branch offices which should be closed or reduced in scale only changed their names to civil service centers while keeping the same payroll and in some cases paid additional salaries and increased expenditures to make ends meet.
The National Medical Insurance Management Authority has decreased 246 branch offices to 161 places on paper, but actually it only removed 24 percent and maintained all salary levels.
Moreover the BPS only investigated 9 percent of all governmental paid institutes, so it is quite likely that there is much more phony claims out there.
