The government wants to stop the closure of agencies in smaller communities. A larger central coordination should give the state a better overview and limit the government’s ability to decide where they should be.
– There has not been a helheltstänk. Each authority has an eye on their own business, but I believe that government has a responsibility to see the big picture so that we are in the country, says the civilian Minister Ardalan Shekarabi (S) to the Swedish radio news.
The background is including the Tax Agency’s decision to close offices in several smaller municipalities, which has led to protests.
Now the State Treasury in the task of mapping authorities for the Government to tighten control of operations. The goal is to create a balance between power and presence throughout the country.
Authorities have far-reaching autonomy to manage their own affairs, but Shekarabi not rule out a more stringent regulation.
– If it turns out that there are major shortcomings in governance, we are prepared to take the necessary measures, he said.
