The United Independents’ Congress (UIC) has pledged to reduce the number of government agencies. Currently, there are around 140 government departments and agencies, which represents a decline of 22 per cent than the 180 that existed in 2016. He is also prioritising the reallocation of state lands to erode the high homeownership deficit that exists in the country.
