The Express Tribune: Peshawar: Monday, August 14, 2017.
Right to
Information (RTI) Act is playing major role in ensuring transparency, abolition
of nepotism and supremacy of merit in public sector organisations of the
province, said Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Information Commissioner Azmat Hanif
Orakzai.
He was speaking
at a training session of the Public Information Officers (PIOs) of districts
Nowshera and Mardan. Over 50 government officials participated in the training
session.
The chief
information commissioner (CIC) said that the present government has over 100
laws including Right to Services Act 2014, Prevention of Conflict of Interest
Act, Whistle Blower Protection Act and Right to Information Act 2013 from the
provincial assembly.
Besides,
guaranteeing participation of the masses in the official affairs, the basic
purpose of these legislations was the supremacy of merit in public sector
organizations, self-accountability and promotion of the spirit of
responsibility in the province.
The main
objective of the RTI Act was bringing improvement in the performance of
organizations and giving access to the people regarding their performance.
