On the direction of Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar, a good governance council has been constituted with CM as its head. Provincial Minister Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed, Yasmin Rashid, Yasir Humayun, Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan, Ansar Majeed Khan Niazi, Advisor Asif Mehmood, MPAs including Syed Yawar Abbas Bukhari, Ayesha Ch., Malik Taimoor Masood, Wasiq Qayyum Abbasi, Ch. Muhammad Adnan, Muhammad Latif Nazar and PTI’s secretary good governance committee Ijaz Minhas will be the members of the council.
The chief minister chaired the maiden meeting of the Good Governance Council at his office and discussed solutions to public problems, bringing improvements in service delivery and good governance besides reviewing different proposals for effectively projecting government performance.
Addressing the meeting, the CM pointed out that different departmental reforms have been introduced during the last two years to provide the best services to the people.
The past rulers failed to do which the PTI has performed in a short span of time, he added. Instead of sitting in my office, I learn about ground realities by going to the field. I have visited Lahore last night for three hours and immediate action has been taken against the officials for showing negligence and dereliction of duty, he said.
I will also conduct surprise visits to different districts and the government will go to every extent to ensure good governance, the CM added. He asked the ministers and elected representatives to conduct visits and maintained liaison with the party workers.
CM SAYS GOVT’S PERFORMANCE IS BETTER THAN LAST 3 DECADES: The CM has enumerated the government’s two-year performance is much better than the last three decades. He noted the media plays an important role in the projection of governmental performance adding that its constructive criticism guides the government in the right direction.
He was talking to Federal Information Minister Shibli Fraz who called on him at his office on Wednesday and discussed the matters of mutual interest.
Both agreed to effectively project the governmental performance. Indiscriminate accountability of the corrupt will ensure national development, he maintained. The PTI government has done away with the tradition of gratuitous use of state resources because money is a sacred trust of the people which is being used on public welfare only, the CM added.
Shibli Fraz stated that people are the best judge of the government’s performance and added that the solution to public problems is the main focus of the PTI government. Meanwhile, the merit-based governance is a conspicuous hallmark of the government, he said.
