Islamabad, 4th December: Pakistan Citizen Portal is a step towards empowering the people, said Prime Minister Imran Khan.
According to reports, PM Khan said on Friday that the Pakistan Citizen Portal was a step towards empowering the people of the country.
Premier praised the initiative saying, “You saw that 3 million people made use of the Pakistan Citizen Portal.”
PM said that the portal is helpful in pointing out which government departments are working properly and which are lagging behind.
As per Geo News, Khan said, “What did this reveal? It revealed that in Pakistan, the local government system is not functioning at all. Insha’Allah, we are about to bring a new local government system in the country which will bring about a revolution.”
The prime minister said that his local government system will be extended to the lowest level, where villagers will be empowered to solve their municipal issues.
Khan also outlined his plan for cities and informed that each city will have its own government, where elections to elect public representatives will be held.
“People’s problems will be solved in their own cities, just like it happens in London and Paris,” he said.
The premier urged the overseas Pakistanis, who are the biggest asset of our country, to use the Citizens Portal.
PM Imran Khan turned his attention towards people’s complaints of assistant commissioners and deputy commissioners being corrupt. “I would urge our people to use this portal to report their corruption and then it will be our job to seek answers from them,” he said, as the audience broke into applause.
“In the past two years, three million people used this portal. I would want more people to use this. We were operating the portal without funding but now we will further strengthen it,” he added.
Prime Minister reassured that through the Citizens Portal, the government will be able to catch the bureaucrats involved in corruption and that they will be suspended rather than being transferred to some other post.
