The Technical Team of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is located in Pakistan to analyze the judicial and regulatory system for the rescue agreement of $ 7 billion, requested details about the implementation of the program and property rights at a meeting with the president of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (CJP) Judge Yahya Afridi on Tuesday.
The IMF team is visiting the country for a one -week scrutiny of the judicial and regulatory system as part of the extended background installation (EFF) in the course of $ 7 billion to address the vulnerabilities of governance and corruption.
It will examine six sectors and institutions related to key governance, according to a statement from the Ministry of Finance.
While talking with journalists after the meeting, CJP Yahya Afridi said a six -member team had sought details about the implementation and ownership rights of the program.
“I told the IMF that he has arrived in Pakistan at the best moment,” he said, adding that the judges told the team about judicial reforms and national judicial policy.
The CJP Aphridi also said: “We have asked both the Government and the opposition for an agenda for judicial reforms.”
In addition, CJP Aphridi stressed that the team also made “suggestions regarding the protection of property rights.”
“I also talked about the National Committee for Formulation of Judicial Policies: I told the delegation that we will make suggestions, we will create banks for the early hearing in the higher courts,” he said.
Meanwhile, the delegation, according to the CJP, insisted that it wanted to protect foreign investment in the country.
In addition, CJP Afridi said he also told the team that it was not the work of the judges “to reveal all the details,” stressing that they had made “an oath of independence of the Judiciary under the Constitution.”
“I told the Delegation on the Agenda of the National Committee for Formulation of Judicial Policies, I told the delegation that the subordinate judiciary is supervised by the higher courts,” he added.
Pakistan promised the IMF in October to strengthen institutional capacities to combat corruption, support inclusive growth and provide a leveling playing field for companies and investments.
