Public Directory of Government Positions: Increased Transparency in Administration
A new law establishes a public, online directory of government positions and the individuals holding them. This will provide citizens with easy access to information about who occupies key administrative roles, enhancing government transparency and facilitating public oversight.
Key points
A public website will be created listing all significant government positions and the names of the individuals holding them.
Information will be updated monthly and available for free in an easily searchable format.
After each presidential term, data will be archived and remain publicly accessible.
The act will replace the existing "Plum Book" publication starting in 2024, making information more readily available online.
Annual reports will include anonymous demographic data of individuals in these positions, allowing for diversity analysis within the administration.
