With the approval of the chief adviser, the ICT Division formed this task force and issued a notification on 3 April 2025.
The main objective of forming this task force was to prepare an 'ICT white paper' after examining all types of contracts, project DPPs, all audit reports, and investigation reports prepared by the ICT Division during the previous government, and investigating irregularities and mismanagement in this regard.
The government hopes that this white paper will serve as an important guideline for institutional reform of the ICT Division, prevention of corruption, and ensuring people-friendly services, said a press release of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology.
