Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ensured the government’s commitment to eliminate corruption at every level. He advised the people to play their due role in the government’s efforts for a corruption-free future.
Reportedly, on Internation Anti-Corruption Day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a message that,“on this International Anti-Corruption Day, let us stand together, united in our resolve to build a Pakistan where public resources are utilized efficiently for the welfare of our people’.
“Let us work together for a future where the rule of law prevails and where accountability is the bedrock for all”, he added
Shehbaz Sharif appreciated the efforts of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and other law enforcement agencies for their tireless work in ensuring the actions against those who misuse power and rob the hard-earned public revenues face the consequences of their actions. “We recognize the hard work of our institutions and stand with them in this important task to root out corruption from society”, he appreciated.
He highlighted that the 9th of December marked the International Anti-Corruption Day, a reminder of the global efforts to confront one of the greatest challenges facing our societies — corruption. “This year’s theme “Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity” rightly highlights the important role that our youth can play in the fight against corruption. Our younger generation deserves a future where they can thrive free from corruption,” he added.
Today, he said Pakistan joined the international community to renew its commitment to transparency, integrity, and accountability for now and for future generations.
He emphasized that corruption was a corrosive element that undermined economic development and destroys the social fabric of societies. “It robs nations of their potential and prevents people from enjoying the benefits of fair governance and equal opportunities. It also distorts public services, diverts resources meant for development, and perpetuates inequality that impacts the lives of ordinary citizens. Corruption is therefore a major reason for distrust between the governments and its citizens,” he remarked.
He also urged the media to play its due role in exposing malpractices. “This day demands active participation from all who believe in justice and integrity. Each one of us must take responsibility for building a transparent and accountable society,” he added.
