State agencies asked to boost good governance and transparency
Play
Government agencies and state enterprises have been ordered to strictly observe eight measures in an effort to reform the bureaucracy with goals of boosting good governance, transparency and public confidence in the system.
Acting permanent secretary for the PM’s Office ML Panadda Diskul, who also serves as Interior Ministry deputy permanent-secretary, called a meeting of concerned officials to discuss bureaucratic reform at a time when there is no elected government.
He said even though the country had undergone a series of bureaucratic reforms over an extended period, the reform process must continue in order to respond to change, create public confidence, boost transparency and justice, as well as public accessibility.
