Summary: Giving Up On The Reform of Administration and of Public Management, Contradictory
Within new Strategy it is necessary to highlight and to achieve the objectives and limits of
Committee from Basel at financial policy and conditions imposed by FMI and to take into account
the managerial measures of balance of economical-financial system accepting principles, such as
balance management of the aggregated demand and offer, on the one hand, and of PIB, of monetary
mass and currency reserves, on the other hand. The solving of these and other balance problems
needs the use of restrictive hypothesis and strategically interaction between agents of plays theory.
The efficiency and quality of new Strategy will be possible in the result of radical improvement of
public management, fundamental changes of public institutions’ functions, increasing of the
managerial responsibility and their orientation on objectives and results of the reform. The public
managers should be appreciated in function of the capacity to solve general social problems and
firstly specific to increase life quality.
The implementation of reforms on long and medium terms needs the perfections and concretization
of functions of currently Strategy on public administration reform for 2016-2020 years, of National
Council for public administration reform of Implementation Center of Reforms and of
Administration Council of the Implementation Center of Reforms. Instead of these acts and
bureaucratically structures it is very rational to create a Center of Reform of Public
Administration and Management and of creation of an Entrepreneurial Government
(CRPAM and creation of EG). The main functions of CRPAM and creation of EG consist in
cardinal reforming of actual bureaucratically and traditional public management and administration
and creation of an entrepreneurial government for achievement of finale objectives and namely:
economical renewing and growth and intensive development, assurance of places of work and
reduction of migration level, economical and financial balance, increasing of living level of
population at the European Level.
This Center firstly should have authorization of supervision of macro-economical balance, of
control and evaluation of dis-balance of banking and budgetary system, of monitoring of
transparency of auctions and privatization, of economical and financial transactions. At the same
time the Center will supervise and improve the quality of structural reforms; will elaborate criteria
and principles of economical and financial policies; will propose legislative acts for achievement of
reforms; will coordinate and cooperate with international institutions for external expertise and
assistance in order to implement reforms; will evaluate capacities of fulfillment of reform’s results
in accordance with European Standards. The achievement of the problems by the Center is possible
due to realization of foreseeable, organizational and coordination, administration, motivation and
control-evaluation functions.
The structure and general functions of the Center are reflected in Scheme no. 1. The functions at
second stage will be concerned to monitoring of lack of poise and maintenance of the macro-
economical balance tendency, to implementation of correction measures of disproportions, to
promoting and implementation of European Standards of population’s life, to intensive and durable
development,to increasing of life’s quality.
The rapid and asynchrony changes of the structure and of local economical functions and of the
European, lack of synchronism in Moldavian-European relations will create barriers: - in reforming
of public administration; - in economical durable and intensive stabilization; in avoiding in time of
lack of poise. In the Republic of Moldova in transition period the efficiency of National Strategy of
Development and Reforming Strategy of Public Administration and of Center of Implementation of
Reform was insufficient because were bureaucratized and have functioned and functions as an
irresponsible Body because is completely supposed to the will of politician. Moreover, the actual
Government (and not only it) is total dependent by oligarchy and obviously it hasn’t competence
from the supervision policy of economical stability and combating of corruption, not mentioning
the real responsibilities of control and liability. For example, ex-governor of National Bank of
Moldova who has directly responsibility of billions theft, wasn’t audited by the National
Anticorruption Center. The subordination of currently Center of Implementation of Reforms of
public administration to the politician, better to say to the oligarchy (this is explained and by the
fact that the activity of the Center is performed under control of Governmental Commission for
administration’s reform in head with Prime-Minister, in another words “the wolf controls the
sheep”) has led to the growing of instability and corruption in the Government Party. Through such
schemes of control has past and the ex prime-minister, who was the Head of the Party being at
government, who currently is convicted under pressure of other Head of Party which is on the
power now. In such was taken place the fight for absolute power within the system, but not for
reforming administrative system and interaction with that political. The dependence of first
administrative echelon of political factor, submission of administration and expression of will of
party groups at the highest level, allegedly to confer a continuation of political reforms has led to
establishment of oligarchy and captivity of state institutions.
In theory and practice there are different concepts diametrically opposed on the solving the problem
of the relation between policy and administration: - one, consists in distance of administration from
policy, even from the highest level, with goal of conferring of a continuity of actions for
implementation economic reforms and creation of entrepreneurial government; - the second, consist
in dependence of first administrative echelon by political factor, giving to the second echelon a
relative stability for functions execution. Regretfully in the Republic of Moldova all echelons of the
administration were divided in accordance with political criteria and supposed in total to respective
politician (they divided under political criteria event the guards and maids, only to adhere to the
Party).
In national practice the distance of public administration and management from policy didn’t exist,
that is why the reform have been performed in accordance of principles one step forward and two
steps back. The lack of political will not involve and offer to the administration freedom in actions
led to the total destruction and disorder in the society, performed with politician hand. For example,
first progressive legislative has putted the independence basis and opened the European way and
reforms and gave a considerable impulse to changes (1990-1994) which have provoked a war with
Russia and have divided the country, the second legislative policy (1994-1998) has stopped the
administrative reforms, change of agrarian relations and has achieved a conception of social-
economical development based on consumption, achievement the CSI vector, the third policy
(1998-2001) has returned the European vector of development, implemented the so called “shock
therapy” destroying overnight the potential State, not construing nothing instead, the fourth policy
(2001-2009) has supposed the public administration totally to the autocrat who has achieved a
traditional management, handling a step to European vector and two steps to CSI, pointing out the
development based on remittances consumption, which lead to growth of economical instability and
to tension till apogee of social contradictions, transforming these contradictions in antagonistic, and
which have changed in force way the Communist Power; the fifth policy (2009-2017) has
transformed the public management and administration in a marionette, mimicking the reforms,
monopoly the influence fields, amalgamating the policy with administration and creating a
corrupted oligarchy, which has captivate the administrative institutions.
For all these stages is characteristic a mimicking and pseudo-reforming of public administration and
management, a submission of structure of policy government, an essential diminishing of
economical potential, an increase of migration of workforce, an increase of poverty, an impulsion of
monopoly process of economical and financial circuit, a growth of theft and money laundering. The
so called reform of the administrative and management system and performing of changes due
changes has led to deepen of the instability, to monopoly of markets by clans being at government
and strengthen of oligarchy. Instead to decentralize the authorities and to encourage the
participative management, to promote mechanism of market the Government, on the contrary, has
canceled the main link of decentralization and namely, the Law of Counties’ forming (this law was
adopted by the most agrarian legislative conservatism) returning to district structures for
maintaining in their hands the territorial structures allotting funds to that theories where were the
governing parties, or which adhere to government party.
The lack of managerial and administrative Reforms and of Entrepreneurial Government
independently from policy with responsibilities of control and actions, similar to Constitutional
Court and of poorly developed civil society, has permitted to the governors to “structure” the
legislation on their will (in Romania such variant hasn’t pass because under pressure of civil society
has been annulled the Ordinance 13 of amnesty of corrupted persons). Chinking of the legislation
has “untie the hands” of corrupted governors not to be criminal responsible for carried offences,
inclusively for theft of billions by the oligarchy power. It is easy to image the blocking and chaos
which appear in the political system of the country, if the Constitutional Court hasn’t action as an
independent Body.
The non-existence of an Independent Center of Reforming of Public Management and
Administration and of Entrepreneurial Government with definitive decisions has led to the entrance
of the oligarchy in social-economical and political system, to captivity of State Institutions. In the
result has been created an insupportable situation, a total disaster and disorder in society. The
majority of the population is under limit of poverty and leaves the country in which they cannot
survive, because the economical potential refined in “coma” doesn’t assure the optimal occupation
of workforce and solving acute social problems. For country there is not a structure with
immediately and definitive empowers and mechanisms for efficiently combating of very corrupted
oligarchy to dismantle the oligarchy structures and to stop the instability, lack of poise, to stop the
theft of billions and their restitution, to give up the state institutions from economical and political
captivity.
Scheme1
For avoiding these and other fatal and anti-national actions and processes for the Republic of
Moldova provoked by corrupted oligarchy the Center of Reform of Management and
Administration and creation of Entrepreneurial Government follows to be created as an independent
managerial institution with responsibilities of achievement of objective traced in Strategy of
control, supervision and prevention of disproportions and economical durable development. The
growth of real efficacy of CRMA and of creation of EG presupposes the offering to this Center the
immunity and rights similar to the Constitutional Court, that in the case of deviation of power from
legislative framework and from principles of theories and models of public management and of
provoking of social-economical instability for urgently and definitive stopping of anti-national
actions.
The lack of such Center dotted with real functions of reforming for reinvention of the Government
and creation of an entrepreneurial administration has led to growth of corruption level in the
monopoly system and to its extension among oligarchy clans and their entrance in all state
structures and levels. These negative processes have undermined the State’s security, have deepen
the social-economical, political and institutional disproportions, have provoked a disorder, total
chaos and distrust in the society, in the tomorrow day, have differentiated the society in pauperism
and rich corrupted oligarchy, have throw country in a “precipice”, have “eroded” the economic
potential and have tensioned at maximum the contradictions between clans of oligarchy and civil
society. At the same time are more deepen the tensions between political parties, which instead to
unit their efforts for overthrow the monopoly and corrupted oligarchy and to free country from
captivity, ones from left side want to adhere at Euro-Asiatic Union, the liberals are for union with
Romania, and the democratic oligarchy clans being at government handle this forces, speculating
with development vector and mimicking reforms for European Integration. Not least, growths the
institutional instability, are deformed more and more the economical interests, property relations.
All these, together with growth of migration of active workforce, generate and produce the macro-
economic dis-balance and the instability of market system at different levels.
The public managerial reforming and reinvention of the government for achievement of the
strategy’s objectives need the solving of problems of human resources, beginning with
organizational, structural and functional aspects and finishing with selection, preparing,
recirculation, recruiting, and motivation of reforming staff with combating of fluctuations and
migrations of specialists from administration, with elaboration of a rigorous system of control and
evaluation of officers, with radical reforming of Public Academy and Administration and its
transformation in a Moldavian-European Center of Economical Studies and Public Management.
Achieving the concepts of balanced development in the conditions of national economy with
opened markets and growth of the competitions, intensification of European process of social-
economical system, the Center will take into account the exogenous factors, of problems with
which are faced the neighbor states, will associate and coordinate the actions with EU Council.
RESULTS. The particularities of public management and administration were focused on the
synthesis of anti-reform and pseudo-scientifically policies of changes of the traditional government
and of economy’s development. In the transition period the administrative reforms were achieved at
surface, without big changes of concepts, regarding the fundamental principles and values of the
public management. The essence of public management was formalized, changing some general
and non-essential acceptations copied from European International Framework in the detrimentally
of those basic, reunited in the Strategy on administrative reform for 2016-2020.
In the new Strategy it is necessary the giving up on traditional old models of perception of
bureaucratically administrative system in which are elaborated Laws, normative acts, and
regulations and through these are applied and which worsen the social-economical situation. The
public management wasn’t based on theories of stabilization and modern economical growth, and
the actions and policies of central public administration were executed in fragmental way and
dependents on policy using selectively the national and international institutional and legislative
framework. The characteristics and general result of public traditional administrative management
executed in the period of 1991-2016 years consist in execution of structural changes of façade and
forming of s market economy of extensive type, monopoly and lack of poise, which have been
developed not on the basis of investments in priorities, but on remittances consumption and on
considerable “eroding” of the internal and external borrowings, of grants, on the extension of
budgetary deficiency and State’s debts. In this period different public administrations with opposite
methods and policies have obtained practically the same result and namely an extensive
development expressed in rapidly growth of efforts of human and material resources than the
obtained effect.
The reforming processes of public administration and management were contradictory, fragmental
and uniformly succeeded. In transition we can highlight some policies and stages of pseudo-reform
and economical pseudo-development, inclusively: - period of reform’s initiation (1990-1994); -
elaboration of constitutional principles of public management and administration (1994-1998); - the
period of active changes, destruction of agricultural households and dividing of agricultural territory
(1998-2000); - fragmental execution of reform through subject of public administration to left
autocrat (2001-2008) and achievement of an accentuate social policy and a corruption based on
consumption; - finally the period of pseudo-reform and mimicking of reform, and their execution
with ambiguity (2009-2016), with extension of massive corruption of government powers and
namely those pro-European. In this period the basic objective of the management wasn’t the growth
of the degree of satisfaction of public interest, being determined by general and specific needs.
The pseudo-reforming of management and administration at all stages were succeeded with
“changes for only changes”; with degradation of life’s quality; with instauration of a public total
disorder and of an instability and vicious crisis; with execution of reform through closing or adding
of Ministers, agencies or Directions; with protection of those devoted to the policy and perpetuation
of the incompetence; with increase of competence conflicts; with stifling guardianship of the
politician on administration; with personal regality between head’s responsible; with reduction of
degree of satisfaction of public interest; - all these have led to unforeseeable fluctuations of
administrative structure, at creation of a negative image of the population toward any public
manager and in general at compromising of administrative and of public affairs environmental of all
levels.
Because of pseudo-scientifically management and of embezzlement administration and of theft of
billions from Banks, economical crisis and unemployment growth (30% of young persons haven’t
places of work) has accelerated the process of “eroding” of workforce through education and
preparation non-agreed with market’s requirements and non-professional and of forced migration
(medium rate of migration is of 2,5% on year). Facade reform of the Government and of
economical system has deepen the social-economical crisis and instability, which has essential
influenced the efficacy and direction of development and has diminishing the possibilities of
durable economical development.
The promoting of a fiscal-budgetary and snit-scientifically public financial management (fiscal
pressure is of two times bigger than critical point, which should not exceed 25% of income),
inconsequent, inefficiently, non-attractive, not only has reduced the area of taxation, but has
provoked the growth of economical embezzlement and about 2,5 % of economical agents leave
affairs, or they pass in illegally sector. In the result of fiscal-budgetary reform by administrative
methods has been diminishing the direct taxes which reflect the efficacy of affairs (these rate
constitute a third of all taxes), has essential increased the budgetary deficit, constituting in 2016
year about a third from total income of State Budget.
The financial administrative policy, of giving up on requirements of new public management
theory, inclusively balance model IS-LM, has transformed the national economy in economic
market system with an insufficient level of financial resources and with a monetary rate of critical
economy (the monetary rate of the economy in 2001-2016 years has constituted about a third of
PIB, while in developed countries this rate constituted from 70 till 110 % from national products).
This has led to the considerable decrease of the degree of use of economical potential and
respectively to diminishing of PIB and of incomes of economical agents and population, at
extension of financial embezzlement in the result of speculations on financial market and of theft
and money laundering from banking system and growth of the rate of speculative interest and at
artificial forming of deficit of investments and respectively at essential and suddenly decrease of
local and foreign investments in real economy. At the same time these and anti-national processes
have provoked the increase of monopoly degree of financial system (about 70% of monetary mass
is controlled by three banks), have extended the embezzlement area in banking system, increased
the speculative rate of currency exchange with 40% and respectively rate of annual interest of Lei
till 22 %. The monopoly banks have exploited this phenomenon, crediting the budgetary deficit
with an exaggerated rate and in such way getting in embezzlement way thousands of millions in the
result of these speculations. The financial monopolists, controlling through non-existent and off-sor
structures the financial system and economical circuit, impose to the society their interest and will.
All these have increased the degree of captivity of state institutions and have established a
bureaucratically public management, which has dis-balanced the social-economical system through
deepening of disproportions of AD-AS relation of money on financial market, increasing of money
demand provoked by theft of billions from banks, of speculations of money offer and insufficient
demonetization of the economy (monetary mass of crediting of the economy has essential
diminished in relation with PIB).
The monopoly of institutions of sector administration in accordance with criteria, not that
professional, but that of Party, the theft and taking of the billions of euro from the country, not only
has increased the money deficit in the economy, but has reduced the power of buying of financial
resources being in circulation, has considerable accelerated the inflation and in result the small
business has bankruptcy (in 2010-2016 have bankrupt 25 % of enterprises) and at the same time
was increased the dubious economy, has extended the economical embezzlement and corruption,
creating favorable conditions for growth of economic instability and reduction of real sector. The
government’s oligarchy, captivity of financial system, theft of billions, secret of real founders of
Commercial Banks, economical disproportions, considerable growth of budgetary deficit and
currently account and of internal and external debt, total corruption have come in contradiction with
supervision conditions from Basel and FMI which have postponed the financing and drawing up of
agreement in 2013-2016, blocking the financing and sanctioning the Republic of Moldova more
than three years.
The new Strategy of Reforming of public Management and Administration and creation of
Entrepreneurial Government on a long and medium term follow to be achieved in the conditions of
a very threaten risk – namely in the situation of the economy which suffers a strong coercion from
the part of monopoly and national oligarchy and hard limits imposed by FMIs and EU. It is meant
that the oligarchy will allow the realization of reforms of public administration and management in
favorable limits and in interest of government’s groups. Solving strategically problems is
complicated because of financial, monetary and budgetary coercions and limits imposed by FMI,
inclusively: - limit of total cash deficit, of net assets of National Bank of Moldova; of minimum
level of stocks of net international reserves of National Bank of Moldova; - limiting of contracting
and guarantee of non-concessional external debts by the Government of the Republic of Moldova; -
limiting of arrears accumulations from external payments and monetary basis; - limiting of internal
expenses of salary funds, will impulse the reform of public administration, will limit the handle and
of promoting possibilities of radical and efficient reforms. At the same time these coercions will
stimulate and impute the politician to promote real reform of public administration and management
and to form an entrepreneurial government, to create conditions for radical change of the concept
and policy of development and economical growth and of financial in State, to reduce the taxation
rate and interest rate and to increase the financing volume of the economy, to stimulatethe
investments and to reform radically the affairs environmental and that institutional, to dissemble the
oligarchy and to limit strictly and hard the monopoly under different forms, to create conditions of
durable stabilization and development. In case of fails of real reforms the State wouldn’t survive.
The stipulated result of proposed recommendations in the Strategy for the reform and creation of
entrepreneurial government on long and medium term is to reestablish the security of the state and
avoid the total bankruptcy and state’s collapse, to stabilize and develop the economy, to reduce and
limit the monopoly functions and to maintenance the flexible balance using the IS-LM model.
CONCLUSIONS:
Giving up on principles and policies of public management reforming and administration promoted
by values and recommendations of new concepts of the public Management and from requirements
of European Standards has led to social-economical destabilization, monopoly and oligarchy of
local and central public administrative system ,captivity of state institutions, reproduction of total
instability, dismissing and “eroding” of social-economic potential which is in “coma”, loss of a half
of active workforce of the country ,diminishing of life’s quality, forced migration, pauperization of
the population, deforming of economical interest and property relations, entrance of corruption in
all economical structures and relations, total economical embezzlement and massive money
laundering.
The balanced and durable development of social-economical system, dissemble of oligarchy needs
the elaboration and implementation of new Strategy of Reforming of Public Management and
creation of Entrepreneurial Government concerning the durable stabilization and development and
increase of the degree of satisfaction of public interest, determined by European medium local
population’s needs.
The complex and efficient achievement of this Strategy presupposes the reforming of currently
Center of Reforms Implementation (CRI) of public administration. The CRI must be apart of policy
with supervision, prevention and correction functions of social-economical dis-balance, with
responsibilities of control and evaluation of stability of economical, financial and banking system,
with right of dissemble of oligarchy and of hard and definitive limiting of monopoly which
currently “erodes” the marked, economical interest, property and household’s relations. At least but
not the last, CRI is responsible of control, prevention and combating of dubious economical and
financial transactions, of monitoring of economical balances on the Moldavian-European
reintegration process.
This CRI follows to be independently from political point of view and created through direct voting
of civil society, able of immunity, with rights and responsibilities similar with that of Constitutional
Court. The structure and functions of Center of Reform Implementation of Public Administration
for stabilization, control, supervision and anticipation of dis-balances can be created through reform
of existent CRI.
The reforming of structure and functions of public Management and Administration in accordance
with new Strategy and creation of Entrepreneurial Government on dissemble of embezzlement
oligarchy and removal of sector administrative structures (Minister, Departments, Agencies) from
captivity, forming of a mix economy of free market, hard regulation of monopoly’s activity under
all forms and creation of a stimulus and stable affairs climate and of an institutional medium
necessary for attraction of investments in real economy and development of private properties,
inclusively through diffusion and acting, passing of disproportions and social-economical
stabilization – all these will create real conditions of durable development and increase of life’s
quality and integration in EU.
