I was at a discussion yesterday (1/26) that touched tangentially on bureaucratic incompetence. And the question arose (at least in my mind): Is this a new phenomenon? And if it is, what is the cause? What are the causes? Hiring less competent people? Complacency? (I note that after it was revealed that all of those pension records were lost or totally worthless, the very ministry that was responsible for the mess was given budget and people to clean it up. No heads rolled. The ministry came out ahead.) Issues are more difficult now? Something else?
And if it is not a relatively new thing, why are we hearing more about it now? Why are these things being reported now? Because the bureaucrats have less ability to censor what is published? Because the LDP politicians used to cover these things up and the DPJ is intent on embarrassing the LDP by association? (The DPJ has run on a “rein in the bureaucrats” platform, but this would not have resonated and would not have gotten them votes if the voters were not already aware of at least some of the incompetence.) Because the politicians are seeing this as an opportunity to tilt the balance of politicians-vs-bureaucrats power in their favor? In-fighting and jockeying for power among the different ministries? Something else?
