Storting rejects proposal to cut director positions in public sector
MPs Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, Maren Grøthe and Erling Sande proposed reducing the number of directors in state agencies and state-owned enterprises by at least 20 percent, middle managers by at least 10 percent, and introducing a "de-directorization policy". The Standing Committee on Local Government and Public Administration recommends that the Storting reject the proposals, though several committee minorities have submitted alternative proposals on trust-based leadership and stricter scrutiny of new director positions.
