Government to tighten liability to improve efficiency in public administration

The President instructed the presidential administration and the State Control Committee to draft a bill which will set deadlines for modernising the woodworking industry.

President Lukashenko wants state officials to keep focused and to monitor the situation in the woodworking industry. Modernising the woodworking industry is a flagman project for the Belarusian authorities and is due to be completed before the presidential campaign starts in 2015. Belarus’ public administration does not envisage political responsibility for implementing governmental programmes and, despite its low efficiency, President Lukashenko will not make any changes to the public administration system this year.
