Corona by notice in Supreme Court: Government does not look transparent in Corona prevention and relief

Government does not look transparent in Corona prevention and relief

The Chief Justice of Pakistan remarked during a pre-notice hearing on the steps taken to deal with the Corona virus that no province and department had given a transparent report to the court on the matter.

Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmad said Monday that actions taken to prevent Corona do not see any coordination between the federal and provincial provinces and no mechanism has been adopted.

He said that money was taken from the public and from overseas Pakistanis in connection with the virus prevention but how the money was spent.

A five-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by the Chief Justice, also raised the question of how trillions of rupees have been spent to prevent the Corona virus when there are only five thousand patients in the country. "All governments are spending money on relief, but there is no transparency."

In his remarks, Justice Omar Ata Bandial, who was present on the bench, said that the federal government has given billions of rupees to the provinces. What the provinces are doing with this amount, it should be monitored.

He said that monitoring does not imply any independence on provincial sovereignty and that monitoring also provides a kind of audit.

The Chief Justice added in his remarks that Bait-ul-Mul also did not submit any response in response to what he had done to help those in need.

He said that zakat money is not meant for people visiting 'TADA' and outside.

He said that Chairman Bait-ul-Mammal was also receiving salary from Zakat, on which the Attorney General said that officers of this department should pay the salaries to the government themselves.

During the hearing, the Chief Justice quoted the shrine as saying, "Look at (his) condition, everyone is going to fall." 'Don't understand where the money for breaks and toilets is spent?' The Chief Justice said that even if the Sehwan Sharif market had been repaired, the roof would not have fallen.

Justice Omar Ata Bandial said in his remarks that according to the report, the federal deposited more than Rs.

The court has sought Shari'a opinion from the Islamic Ideological Council on whether zakat and charity money can pay people salaries and whether this money can govern the affairs of the institution.

Upon inquiry of the court, Secretary Health Tanveer Qureshi told the court that 16 quarantine centers are currently set up in Islamabad and all necessary facilities have been provided to which the Chief Justice asked the Secretary Health whether he himself was in these centers. , To which Secretary Health responded in the negative.

Expressing his indignation at this, the Chief Justice ordered him to visit all quarantine centers on Monday.

The Chief Justice said in his remarks that the situation in the government quarantine centers set up in the Haji camp was 'inhumane'.

During the hearing, the court also raised the question as to how hotels were selected to keep Pakistanis coming from abroad to Quarantine in Islamabad.

Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, who was present at the bench, told Secretary Health that instead of building more quarantine centers, the buildings should be converted into quarantine centers, on which the Attorney General told the court that his proposal would be forwarded to the government. ۔

During the hearing, the Federal and Provincial governments were ordered to take full care of the medical staff and doctors and, if possible, additional privileges should be given to the medical staff.

During the hearing, the court also appreciated the role of sanitary workers. The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing on Corona itself for two weeks.
