| MP privilege for duty-free cars scrapped | |
| 2007-05-20 | |
The council of advisers yesterday finalised the proposal to cancel the lawmakers' privilege of importing duty-free cars and also decided to form a committee to speed up the bureaucratic processes. Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Syed Fahim Munaim gave the information during the weekly press briefing at the Chief Adviser's Office.
Fahim also said that Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is yet to receive the letter signed by 15 high-profile US senators that ask the government to withdraw the state of emergency immediately and announce a detailed roadmap within two months for holding the elections at the earliest. Meanwhile, the council decided to form a committee for exploring ways to expedite bureaucratic processes by reviewing the rules of business in the ministries. The council looked at how authority could be delegated through updating the rules and regulations and reviewed the list of pending tasks of ministries, which were asked to be prioritised as quickly as possible. The advisers also discussed in detail to standardise all public utility services in order to maintain consistency and make those more convenient for the public. | |
