CDU claims insufficient utilization of the data protection officer's expertise by the traffic light coalition. - CDU Criticizes Ampel for Infrequent Utilization of Regional Representative's Expertise
The Rhineland-Palatinate CDU parliamentarian, Christof Reichert, has viciously criticized the traffic light government for frequently disregarding the expertise of the State Commissioner for Efficiency. "Efficiency should be a fundamental pillar of government action," the finance politician opined, during a meeting in Mainz. Placing this role under the President of the State Audit Office is acceptable.
After all, this individual can share valuable insights gained from audit and advisory roles, suggesting potential economic intervention points and steps to optimize administrative procedures. Yet, in the last ten years, Reichert bemoans, the role has barely been consulted.
State Commissioner Rarely Consulted Since 2018
The last time the State Commissioner was consulted was in 2018, relating to the topic of the long-term financial stability of state foundations. There were no consultations during the coronavirus crisis, flooding disaster, or reconstruction, or during the University Medicine construction project.
In response to Reichert's small parliamentary question, Finance Minister Doris Ahnen (SPD) confirmed that the state government has only sought the State Commissioner's advice on three occasions in the last ten years, and he has voluntarily provided advice once. Additionally, parliamentary groups consulted the State Commissioner regarding the refurbishment and expansion of the state parliament building in 2016.

While it appears that the traffic light government in Rhineland-Palatinate has not frequently enlisted the expertise of the State Commissioner for Efficiency since 2018, search results do not provide hard evidence of this fact. Accessing more specific local government records or obtaining official statements from Rhineland-Palatinate officials regarding their engagements with the State Commissioner for Efficiency would be necessary to gain a more accurate picture.
- The Rhineland-Palatinate CDU, led by Christof Reichert, has expressed concern over the traffic light government's neglect of the State Commissioner for Efficiency's expertise, specifically in relation to vocational training, a key focus in Mainz.
- It is crucial for the state government to prioritize the expertise of the State Commissioner for Efficiency, given the potential for vocational training initiatives to significantly improve local efficiency.
- In light of the State Commissioner's experience in auditing and advising, the CDU urges the traffic light government to reconsider involving the State Commissioner for Efficiency in the development of policies affecting vocational training and other areas, particularly in the context of Rhineland-Palatinate's community policy.
