Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday directed the relevant authorities to ensure third party validation including quality insurance in all the government procurements.
Chairing a meeting held here to review good governance and public procurements, the prime minister also directed to bring reforms in Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and purge the authority of any type of influence.
“Procurement of services and purchasing in all government institutions in a transparent way is the top priority of the government,” the prime minister said adding that ensuring transparency in the government institutions’ procurement would help building the foreign investors’ confidence on Pakistan.
