The roadmap for the establishment of the National Policy Commission was discussed at the National Council Sub-Committee on Identifying Priorities in Formulating Short-, Medium- and Long-Term Policies, held recently under the chairmanship of MP Namal Rajapaksa.

The Chairman of the sub-committee said that the draft bill on the National Policy Commission would be submitted to the Parliament soon, after seeking the views and suggestions of all relevant parties and the public.

The progress of the recommendations given in the previous meetings, regarding the use of electronic technology in the procurement process (e-Procurement System) of all government institutions was also discussed.

Rajapaksa pointed out the need to prepare plans to implement this system expeditiously. Accordingly, by June this year, it is planned to be implemented on a trial basis at several Cabinet Ministries and State Ministries, the officials said.

It was also discussed about establishing easy and quick service by digitizing government institutions. Officials of the Sri Lanka Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) gave a presentation on the program planned for this purpose and its current status.
