The Government will be winding up or transferring the powers of more than 100 commissions, agencies and advisory boards, after revelations that their services were not needed or could be performed by existing institutions, The Sunday Times reported.

At least 50 commissions, agencies and advisory boards have been shortlisted for closure while another 50 such establishments are to be identified according to the Newspaper report.

The high expenses, overlapping of duties and their performance had been taken into consideration in taking the decision to close down the institutions.
