Last year, President Dr. Arif Alvi had asked the authorities concerned to digitalize the parliament by June 2021 for efficient management and decision making in the secretariat and the standing committees, as he underscored the need for the institution’s digitalization. He had reiterated that it was essential to incorporate information technology (IT) into both the Houses of Parliament to enhance efficiency, establish effective monitoring and control system over the legislative business, ensure efficient secretariat and committee management and streamline decision making.
