Cabinet nod for draft laws on digital economy committee, restructuring of ICT Ministry
The Cabinet Tuesday approved a draft law setting up a national digital economy committee, and another for restructuring the Information and Communications Technology Ministry, as proposed by the ministry itself, said PM's Office spokesman Yongyuth Mayalar
The first of these draft laws determines the creation of a national committee to be chaired by the prime minister, with the deputy PM in charge of the economy acting as deputy chairman.
Its role is to coordinate the implementation of digital-economy policies between the government and state agencies.
The second determines the renaming and restructuring of the ICT Ministry as the Digital for Economy and Society Ministry, which will oversee five offices: the ministry’s office, the permanent secretary’s office, the digital-economy office, the Meteorology Office, and the Office of National Statistics.
