PM calls for external audit of Ramadan Relief Initiative

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday ordered a third-party audit of the Ramadan Relief Package.

While chairing a review meeting on the Ramadan Relief Package in Islamabad, he commended the efforts of the State Bank of Pakistan, NADRA, and tech companies for ensuring transparency in the program.

The premier emphasized that the package is being implemented nationwide, including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, without any discrimination.

He highlighted that financial aid is being disbursed to eligible individuals through a highly efficient and transparent digital wallet system.

PM Shehbaz Sharif also directed that this model be replicated for other government initiatives.

Additionally, he instructed that the awareness campaign led by telecom companies and banks regarding the Ramadan Relief Package be made more effective and that a detailed report be compiled.

During the meeting, it was revealed that approximately 63% of eligible families have already received their payments.
