Minister for Information Senator Pervaiz Rashid on Wednesday said that the PML-N government firmly believed in transparency and good governance, so it did not feel shy about any scrutiny to judge its performance.
Addressing the inaugural session of the seminar on “Transparency in Public Sector: An Appraisal” organized by the Ministry of Information, the minister said that transparency, undoubtedly is an essential ingredient of good governance whose importance could hardly be over-emphasised.
He said that transparency had been the hallmark of the government’s efforts in reviving the economy. The fact that no mega-corruption scandal, unlike in the past, had been reported and unearthed either by the vigilant media or the transparency monitoring agencies, was proof of the commitment of the PML(N) government to do things the right and transparent way.
The minister said that holding of the seminar on this issue by the government in itself was a testimony to this fact.
He said that the purpose of convening the seminar was to conduct an appraisal of transparency in the public sector with regards the development efforts of the government during the last two and a half years.
He hoped that the seminar would prove to be quite informative for the guests and particularly those from the diplomatic community.
