The Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) has given a clean chit to the laptop scheme of the Punjab government. TIP wrote a letter to Higher Education Commission secretary and mentioned that distribution process of some 100,000 laptops was done according to the rules and regulations, while all laptops were purchased in a transparent manner along with Windows 7 software.
TIP pointed out that procurement process of laptops was initiated in July 2012, a special committee was formulated to review offers extended by various companies for supply of laptops in order to ensure transparency of the purchasing process. The special committee selected four companies of international repute for provision of laptops after a detailed scrutiny.
Five letters of credits were opened in the Bank of Punjab for procurement of 100,000 laptops, which, according to TIP, have been received by the Punjab government.

@ Abdullah
Since the laptops were funded from the budget of Punjab Government (paid through the taxpayers of the province), therefore, it was quite logical to give laptops to the meritorious students of universities in Punjab.

Armed Forces are funded through Federal Taxes and you should expect Laptops initiative from Federal Government where PPP failed to deliver.

After 18th Amendment, education is a provincial subject and only provincial governments run educational reforms through budgetary provisions.
