PM orders for making federal govt offices paperless

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday assigned the Ministry of Information Technology and relevant departments the task of making offices of the Federal Government paperless.

Shehbaz Sharif said no delay in the implementation of e-office in the Federal Government offices is acceptable.

Shehbaz Sharif instructed that the work on all office files should be done through the e-office within a month. He said he would not see any file other than the e-office.

The Prime Minister said enforcement of e-office is amongst the top priorities of the government to ensure transparency and improvement in the system. He said officers should send files to all government offices through e-office.

On the directions of Shehbaz Sharif, an e-office training of the Prime Minister’s office staff was completed last week.  Besides, the Prime Minister personally received files through the e-office last week.

Shehbaz Sharif said the e-office is a significant step for the promotion of digitization and improvement of governance in Pakistan.

He also sought a progress report on the implementation of the e-office in the next two weeks.
