Despite a 120-day grace period, it is not known what steps some ministries have taken to reduce the number of "inorganic" deputy ministers. Ramon Ventura Camejo, the Minister of Public Administration (MAP), said yesterday that as the grace period is up, his ministry would proceed to make the necessary reductions, informing the Controller's office and the Budget office to remove the extra bureaucrats from the payrolls. The MAP will also be sending the Presidential Legal Counsel a list of the number of deputy ministers that each ministry is allowed to have, whether it is what is established by the organic law of the ministry or the six that was established by Resolution 07-2012.

As of yesterday, Monday 18 June, according to Hoy newspaper, the ministries of Education, Interior and Police, Youth, Agriculture and Higher Education had not submitted their lists of deputy ministers. The ministries of Environment, Public Works, Tourism, Public Health, Culture, Industry and Commerce, Foreign Relations, Presidency, Hacienda, Labor, Economy, Sports and Public Administration had delivered their proposals for reducing their extra bureaucrats.
