3 Sectoral priorities will be identified, followed by the developing clear transformational projects. Ministerial work teams will be formed to implement these projects by national cadres.
4 Moving from the sole responsibility of ministries to the joint responsibility of the field work teams. Contracts will be signed as part pf transformational projects and will be followed-up by the Council of Ministers.
5 Setting a scale of incentives and promotions based on the performance of the executive teams and their ability to implement transformational projects approved by the Cabinet.
We need to change the tools of change that we use. The new mechanism of government work will be utilised to accelerate achievements, set priorities and approve projects and budgets. We call on all federal institutions to forego ahead in line with it.”
