Govt planning to shrink state sector
More than 8,000 comments were received during the first three days, with a summary of recommendations to be submitted to the cabinet in mid-August. The government will also ask the cabinet early next month to approve measures freezing the overall number of civil servants, military personnel and police officers, whose combined workforce exceeds three million. Mr Pakorn said vacant positions created through retirement or dismissal would be abolished where they are no longer necessary, while important positions would be retained following a review by the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission.
