‘Proposed LG system to ensure transparency’
He expressed these views while chairing a follow up meeting. The incumbent government is committed to strengthening the local bodies system. People’s representatives will be given financial and administrative powers so that they can fulfil expectations as soon as possible, he said.
It has been made crystal clear in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s manifesto that developments funds will not be given to any assembly member, he stressed.

The minister also directed officials to prepare recommendations in order to install a strict monitoring system for public representatives and their development projects.
