ISLAMABAD: The government on Thursday said the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-mandated declarations of civil servants would be made publicly accessible in a redacted form to ensure both transparency and personal privacy.
This was revealed by Establishment Division Secretary Nabeel Awan before the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue, which ordered a complete investigation into two major scams involving the disappearance of over 400 kilogrammes of silver and a significant portion of 2,000 bags of skimmed milk from the custody of Pakistan Customs.
As the meeting of the Senate panel, presided over by Senator Saleem Mandviwalla, took up the status of asset declarations by government servants, Mr Awan reported that the government had revised the Civil Servants Conduct Rules and was in the process of digitising the asset declaration system through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) platform.
Mr Mandviwalla appreciated the initiative and directed that the revised conduct rules be shared with the committee for detailed review and possible refinement.
