‘Activate standing committees, PFC in public interest’
PTI MPA stresses inclusion of opposition in Public Accounts Committee for real-time monitoring of govt audit reports
KARACHI:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA and parliamentary leader in the Sindh Assembly Bilal Ahmed Ghaffar has stressed the need to properly activate critical spaces for decision making, such as standing committees and the Provincial Finance Commission, to facilitate the public interest.
He expressed these views while addressing a consultation titled Engagement with Parliamentarians: Optimising Benefits of Public Policy at a local hotel on Tuesday.
The event was organised by Shehri-Citizens for a Better Environment (CBE) to create a link between policymakers, academia and civil society, so as to promote the development of legislations for the benefit of the public, particularly in the domains of ecology, climate change, transport, gender, mobility, water and sanitation.
