Slovenian Minister Matoz Oversees Three Ministries, Plans Staff Reductions
Ljubljana – Slovenian Minister Franci Matoz currently holds responsibility for three separate ministries: internal affairs, public administration, and digitalization. This configuration results in a significant increase in the number of public employees and officials under his purview. During a Tuesday announcement, Matoz stated that existing services from the previous ministries would not be simply replicated.
He outlined plans for a comprehensive review of operations, aiming to address what he described as the accumulation of management positions within the government. Matoz emphasized the need for a “lean and efficient internal organization” to ensure effective ministry function. He indicated that job eliminations may be necessary due to duplicated roles.
The move has drawn scrutiny from unions, who express concerns about potential duplication of services. They cite existing legislation stating that abolishing one body does not automatically transfer its responsibilities to another. The restructuring, spearheaded by matoz, involves three distinct ministries.
The potential for significant overlap is a key point of contention as the government seeks to streamline operations and reduce administrative overhead. The focus remains on establishing a more efficient internal structure, potentially leading to workforce adjustments.
