KARACHI: ( HRNW) Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Sunday raised objections over Sindh Protection of Journalists’ and other Media Practitioners’ Bill-2021 and sent it back to Sindh Assembly.
Governor Imran Ismail pointed out that no committee was formed to monitor the funding and expenditure of the Journalist Protection Commission. He added that the third-party audit clause should be included in the bill.
In the documents the governor mentions that “A commission has been constituted with funding from public exchequer and so raising money from other sources as well. Neither any finance committee formed to supervise spending nor any mechanism for third party audit of government funding has been incorporated in Bill. An appropriate mechanism for the purpose should be included accordingly.”
