The odd part

Solving the problem of excessive bureaucracy by creating a new bureaucratic body.

What happened

To promote 'Ease of Doing Business' and reduce the state's role in governance, the Prime Minister has announced the formation of a 'Deregulation Commission.' This brand-new layer of administration will feature high-ranking officials whose sole job is to attend meetings about why there are too many meetings. It is the ultimate administrative paradox: the government is so committed to getting out of your life that they are setting up a new office, hiring new staff, and issuing new forms to tell you they are gone.
