MANAMA: Bahrain's civil service is in for a major shake-up, to cut red-tape and improve efficiency. Better training and rewards for staff and more autonomy for individual ministries will help enhance performance.
The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) is to be revamped, switching its role from supervisory to innovative, Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs and Central Informatics Organisation (CIO) president Shaikh Ahmed bin Ateyatallah Al Khalifa said yesterday.
Salary scales of employees who work in shifts and for long hours will be reviewed by CSB this year, he revealed.
The promotion system will also be reviewed by constantly monitoring employees' performances.
Recruitment times will be cut by 25 per cent this month and by half by July, said Shaikh Ahmed.
"By decentralising the CSB's role, individual ministries will be given more authority to process routine administrative work, which will save both time and effort," he said.
"The whole project will go hand-in-hand with our e-government strategy, paving way for more electronic transactions between various ministries and government departments.
"This will enable us to cut red tape and make the government services more efficient and transparent."
