Flores streamlines bureaucracy<\/p>\n<p>The Jakarta Post, Kupang<\/p>\n<p>As part of efforts to streamline the bureaucracy, East Flores<br>\nRegent Simon Hayon is planning to liquidate 142 posts in the<br>\nregency administration. The plan is being proposed to the East<br>\nFlores Regency Legislative Council for approval.<\/p>\n<p>The measure is aimed at economizing spending for government<br>\nofficials, allowing the government to shift the budget more for<br>\npublic spending such as building public infrastructure or<br>\nincreasing the education budget.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The government officials will surely be mad, but I believe<br>\nthe policy will be backed by the majority of East Flores people<br>\nmost of whom are fishermen and farmers,&quot; said Simon on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Those officials whose posts will be abolished would still work<br>\nat the administration by assuming non-structural positions, but<br>\nthey will lose the allowance given for the structural position.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to streamline the bureaucracy takes place after<br>\nthe regental government conducted a study on government spending<br>\nin the regency, said Simon.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, the regental government has so far<br>\nspent between Rp 6 billion and 8 billion a year to cover spending<br>\nby government officials, including allowances and trips to the<br>\nregions. By streamlining the bureaucracy, the government will<br>\nhave more money to subsidize education to prevent children<br>\ndropping out of school or to help the farmers and the fishermen,<br>\nsaid Simon.<\/p>\n<p>Under the plan, eight out of 17 offices at the regental<br>\nsecretariat will be abolished. The nine offices that would remain<br>\nexist are agriculture, education, health, public works, forestry<br>\nand plantations, fisheries and maritime affairs, transportation<br>\nand tourism, cooperatives and small and medium enterprises and<br>\nthe trade and industry office.<\/p>",
