No big cuts expected after government’s optimization program: Armenia’s PM
Armenian government will do everything to avoid big job cuts as a result of optimization of government’s structure, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the NA today, presenting the government’s program.
“Each state official, ministerial employee will get an opportunity to prove that he/she works and has enough qualification for doing this work. In the first phase the ministries will be combined automatically. Of course, the repeated jobs will be cut but in general no big job cuts are expected,” the PM said.
According to government’s optimization program, it is expected to cut the number of ministries from 17 to 12.
