Recognizing the priorities and the importance and the society’s need for pioneering laws requires educated, balanced people who are committed to the public rights of the society. Representatives in different periods have passed laws without sufficient care and sometimes with fleeting and not very stable feelings, which after a short time have become abandoned laws! Iran is known as one of the most law-abiding countries in the world, and the lack of necessary transparency and the large volume of laws have caught most of the executives, judges, and people!
About thirty years ago, when the law banning satellite antennas was being considered in the parliament, it was clear that this law does not have the necessary comprehensiveness and will remain useless with the increasing progress of technology! The law should have sufficient comprehensiveness, inclusiveness and priority and should be adapted to the culture and needs of the modern society so that it can lead to the reformation of affairs and the emergence of social order, which unfortunately some of our laws are left without those features! I wish that in order to avoid the common mistakes, everyone would find only one term of the right to choose for representation, which of course requires an amendment to the constitution.
Recently, the deputy speaker of the parliament has discussed the alignment of the representatives with the ministers. It is unlikely that anywhere in the developed world a representative equal to the minister will be recognized. Based on which Shari’a and legal logic has he made his representative equal to the minister? Such laws and the addition of organizations and offices for representatives and even the development of Guardian Council offices in the provinces have imposed exorbitant costs on the Muslim treasury!
The parliament should not only prevent the development of its own organization, but also prevent the development of other organizations. Dozens of cities and provinces and, as a result, hundreds of departments in the provinces and cities have been established with the insistence and pressure of some representatives, which have practically imposed heavy costs on the nation’s treasury, which itself has been a serious factor in disharmony and budget deficits, and ultimately increased inflation in the society.
It is really high time that considering the expansion of e-government and the performance of a major part of daily services that can be done by receiving direct fees from the people themselves, the representatives should stop the excessive expansion of government organizations by presenting legal plans. The continuation of this situation can expose the national economy in the provinces and the country to serious risks and make the government unable to meet its current and future expenses! The bankruptcy of most pension funds is a clear example.
The existing bureaucracy based on oil revenues has expanded indiscriminately, but today with the government’s new approach of relying on people’s taxes, these procedures must be fundamentally revised. The airports that were built in most of the provinces with the pressure and lobby of the representatives and sometimes one or more limited flights do not take place from them, not only did not actually lead to the development of the provinces, but also caused an increase in government expenses and a lot of investments that did not generate wealth for the regional and national economy of the country and almost lack the necessary productivity! The existence of so many managers and bosses at different levels in a country of 90 million people as much as the total personnel of an advanced country like Japan with 130 million people shows that the development of the country has not been proportional to the expansion of bureaucracy and government organizations!
In addition to swallowing most of the country’s public budget, which should be spent on construction, settlement and public welfare, this inefficient administrative system has not provided reasons for public satisfaction with the country’s political system. These large expenses have not even led to the satisfaction of the government employees themselves, the country with a large number of inefficient forces in some government departments has practically played the role of a job search company and has not been able to attract the elite and efficient forces necessary for the national productivity of government organizations with proportionate payments in the government body.
It is enough for the president to set a deadline and ask the administrative affairs organization to draw up the necessary plans for the reform of the country’s administrative system and present them to the Supreme Administrative Council of the country by taking advantage of the experiences of retired and graduate managers who are no longer interested in the country’s administrative organization and its positions, as well as using prominent professors of management and administrative law and elite experts. This work can be easily implemented and operationalized with a national determination and culture building among the personnel in the remaining three years of the government, provided that the necessary coordination is assigned to an elite and impenetrable but searching and understanding group, away from the opinion of the interested working managers. In the composition of such a board, it is possible to take advantage of the experiences of ministers, representatives, governors, and managers who have sufficient knowledge of the obstacles, and with a general agreement at the level of the administrative elites, the national plan to reform the country’s administrative system can be successfully completed.
