Prime Minister Vasili Tofan set this task for them at a government meeting on Wednesday as part of efforts to streamline the state administration. He noted that Moldova’s government apparatus is not sufficiently streamlined: many functions overlap, and many agencies lack a clearly defined purpose. “I think it would be appropriate to develop a vision for streamlining, propose the elimination of certain agencies, mergers, the elimination of overlapping functions, and a review of the staffing structure,” said Vasile Tofan. He said that relevant proposals from ministries and agencies must be submitted by September 22. “It will be difficult to ask people to tighten their belts, if necessary, if we don’t do so ourselves first,” he said. // July 22, 2026 – InfoMarket.
