The only reform needed is going to be a hard pill to swallow if you are a plp government. With a no confidence vote looming they will not act on any recommendations that are sensible anyway:)

In other words we will have lots & lots of meetings & then make sure that nothing changes because we like our wonderful taxpayer funded club just the way it is.

What could possibly go wrong? Another exercise in futility just to show activity when nothing whatever will happen, except needing more civil servants to carry out the reform.

“The goal is to have the draft Government Reform Strategic Plan completed by summer 2018 and, subject to approval, implementation will commence immediately thereafter,” Minister of Government Reform Lovitta Foggo said today.

PLP – late again …..

Oh but you can’t lay anyone of the unionized people off. Great, so we’ve just added a team of people to our employment expenses now.
