Kulbergs: Ministers' work to be evaluated monthly, not only at the end of term

Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs stated on Friday after a closed government meeting that from now on, ministers' priority tasks will be evaluated at least once a month, not only at the conclusion of the government's term. Kulbergs emphasized that the tasks will be compiled and reviewed at the Cabinet meeting on June 30.

Kulbergs admitted that not all ministers are accustomed to this approach, but he himself is result-oriented. He noted that ministers' tasks must align with the declaration, be achievable within four months, and be measurable. Some ministries have handled this well, others with more difficulty.

The main challenge has been defining how to measure task completion—whether it is a Cabinet decision, legislative amendments, specific regulations, or a submitted plan. Another crucial question is the fiscal impact of task execution.

The new government, led by Kulbergs, was approved by the Saeima on May 28. It consists of the United List, the National Alliance, New Unity, and the Union of Greens and Farmers.
