Year 2009 First expired, and the WHO with the bureaucracy and is now somewhere "out there". "The power of money" to figure out how you can reduce "then I do not know that": no one has not determined how many public servants need to Ukraine.
From 2008, Ukrainian politicians constantly harp on the need to reduce the state apparatus. During the crisis (and part-t1000ime pre-election) year, these statements become a dramatic shade and have been adopted by presidential candidates. Some of them said that civil servants in Ukraine too much and need to cut.
example, Inna Theological proposes to reduce the number of civil servants by half, because "officials have turned to a new class, the means of production which have pen and paper." Viktor Yushchenko at the end of 2008, called for dismissal of each of the fifth official, but no argument explaining why the need to reduce it so much, to be heard. It did not sound explanation as to why, for example 278 707 civil servants - a lot, and how much they need to be in the result. How to find out "WA", the number of civil servants required the State to fulfill their tasks, no one believes. No precise figure.
He considered me ...
Nevertheless, as ordinary citizens and the officials are confident that the number of civil servants in Ukraine is too large. Starting from 2005 the number of people in the service of the state, annually growing at 3-5% and at the beginning of 2009 was 290 765 people. If we exclude the employees of law enforcement agencies, then, according to official statistics, you get 278 707 people. In the Directorate of Public Service reported that the significant increase in the number of officials in the past year was not. This is a preliminary estimate, official figures for 2009 should declare Goskomstat in the I quarter with. PM
Although now we can recall several high-profile appointments. For example, a new position in the SBU, Viktor Yushchenko, invented specifically for Valery Khoroshkovsky. Or 22 high-level government posts (level up to and including the Deputy Minister), established by the Cabinet.
fairness it is worth noting that last year the government took steps to reduce and senior officials. In particular, abolished the post of deputy heads of some of the Defense Ministry, Ministry of Economy, Gostamozh ¬ service. However, the state apparatus was the Hydra, whose severed head instead of just grew two. In place of the laid off rank and file employees were replaced, and not very ordinary. On average, as calculated by experts in Ukraine is 150 deputy ministers - ten on each ministry.
One of the main arguments in favor of reducing the number of workers in the service of the state, called the exorbitant costs for their content and excessively high burden on tax payers ¬. The question of funding remains an important but not paramount. To do this, have their own reasons.
First, the cunning ones who say that, say, for an increase in the number of ministers or other officials will have to pay extra from the Treasury. As it turned out, it"s not quite true. Each year, developing and adopting the state budget, the government and parliament determine how much money will Ministries, state committees and departments. This is a specific amount, some of which emit in the payroll. For example, in 2009 the needs of the Ministry of Economy has been allocated 240.3 million UAH., Of which the wages of all employees - 117.2 million UAH. In late November, the Cabinet of Ministers ordered a new post of deputy minister of economy. Funds for the salaries of its establishment was forced to allocate the existing wage bill for 2009 that is from above 117.2 million UAH.
According to the explanation of experts to make this possible through the reallocation of funds from within the government. For example, take the money from their own staff. After all, civil servants" pay consists of salary, allowances, allowances for the rank and awards. From this list of mandatory payments to all but the last. According to the employee of one of the departments of the Mini1000stry of Finance, who wishes to remain anonymous, had the size of their premiums amounted to 100% of salary.
"But this year it cut somewhere up to 60%. So, in the amount of ordinary civil servants began to receive less" - complaining about it. A similar situation in the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. His servants had long lived only on base salary and bonus for rank. And even before the days of the award were not mentioned. In contrast, both the Ministry in May of 2009, acquired the additional post deputy ministers. As a result of the introduction of additional staff in state institutions suffer mostly ordinary workers.
Secondly, to resolve the costs of maintaining public servants is unrealistic so long as the same is the basic approach to determine the appropriate amount. And now it is defined in the manual mode. Click to continue »
