He added that government agencies are falling behind in adopting new things due to bureaucracy, which he called "slow, cumbersome, rigid and all-encompassing."

However, in some cases, governmentsusing power, “slowed down the pace of social progress to their level of incompetence” in order to keep up, the potential US presidential candidate emphasized.
