ISLAMABAD—The Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Defence and Defence Production, Senator Nisar A Memon, launched the Committee’s new website here on Tuesday.
Acting Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development Ed Birgells joined in the launch. The USAID Pakistan Legislative Strengthening Project worked with the Committee to create a website to promote public access and information on the work of the Committee.
The website launched provides a full array of information such as Committee functions, Committee member data, Committee reports, Committee activities, the news releases, news clippings, and photographs. Additionally, the website provides an e-mail portal allowing citizens to directly query the Committee, encouraging more public input into its deliberations.
Senator Nisar Memon said that the creation of this first website of a Senate Committee assisted by USAID’s Pakistan Legislative Strengthening Project (PLSP) will help bring the work of the Committee closer to the people we represent. The easily navigable website will enable people to have a better understanding of the work we do and the importance of being fully informed and provide feedback to their representatives.”
