No new initiative for good governance

Staff Correspondent
The caretaker government has adopted as many as 62 ordinances and polices on legal and institutional reforms in the last one and a half years in a bid to ensure good governance.
"One of the major commitments of this caretaker government is to set in motion the process of good governance in the country and prepare the state for building a corruption-free society," Finance Adviser Mirza Azizul Islam said yesterday in his budget speech.
Although the finance adviser
described the caretaker government's various measures regarding legal and institutional reforms, he did not come up with any new initiative to ensure good governance.
The finance adviser also skipped the issue of human rights situation in the country under the state of emergency during the caretaker government regime.
Among the ordinances and polices which were adopted by the caretaker government are — separation of the judiciary from the executive, Election Commission

(EC) secretariat ordinance to establish an independent secretariat for the EC, voter's list ordinance to prepare electoral roll with photographs and money laundering pre-vention ordinance.
The finance adviser said the government has finally implemented the long-awaited constitu-j tional obligation of separating the judiciary' from the executive and formed the Supreme Judicial Commission to ensure the appointment of neutral and competent judges.
Besides, the government has approved the national identity and registration authority ordinance and the anti-terrorism ordinance, he said.
The Anti - Corru ptio n Commission has been reconstituted and the commission has already earned great reputation at home and created a positive image abroad for its activities, Mirza Aziz said.
He also mentioned the formation of the Regulatory Reforms Commission to modernise and reform the existing rules and regulations of the public sector.
On the issue of land reform, Mirza Aziz said efforts are underway to update all existing land related laws, ordinances and regulations in a bid to bring the much-needed reforms in the land administration.
In efforts to bring accountability and transparency in public administration, all government departments and autonomous bodies have prepared their citizens’ charters and they are displaying the charters in their offices to improve the quality of services and mitigate harassments and sufferings of their clients, said the finance adviser.
He said all ministries and important government organisations have been instructed to launch their own websites for the benefit of their clients and stakeholders.
"A large number of ministries/ offices have already done so. Under the E-Citizen Service programme, all government forms used in ministries/ departments have been posted on the websites," the finance adviser said adding that the draft of the right to information ordinance has been published on government website.
