ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has once again expressed the commitment to introduce the latest technology to ensure fair, free, and transparent elections in the country.
Expressing his views while chairing the cabinet meeting in Islamabad, PM Imran Khan emphasized the need for using electronic voting machines in the elections to make the whole process transparent.
He said he will regularly take updates on the matter as well as giving the right of franchise to overseas Pakistanis.
Quoting an international report, the premier regretted that every year one thousand billion dollars are laundered out of the poor countries to the rich countries.
Khan said Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari like the ruling elite first weaken the relevant institutions to transfer abroad the money accumulated through illegal means.
