The Babu Bubble Tight controls
Few years after New Zealand gained independence on September 26, 1907, the government realized that the bureaucrats would not give up their British ways. They wanted to rule forever; national interests being passé with the focus on feathering own nests and protecting their predominant position in governance.
So New Zealand appointed a commission which recommended lower bureaucracy entry through a public service commission but weaned out ‘deadwood’ of the higher bureaucracy. And replaced 50 percent with professionals - specialists in various fields like engineering, medical, military, chartered accountants, company secretaries, academia etc.
New Zealand’s Parliament passed the report and speedily implemented its recommendations. Today, New Zealand is one of the best managed governments, their efficient control of COVID-19 being one proof.
