KUALA LUMPUR – The Finance Ministry has invited members of the public to give their feedback on the Budget 2023 Public Consultation Paper (PCP) on “Improving the Government’s Green Procurement Policy” before or on September 12, 2022.
“Everyone is welcome to give their feedback on the PCP which can be downloaded via https://budget.mof.gov.my/bajet2023/kertaskonsultasi/.
“The publication of the PCP is part of the ministry’s overall effort to make the annual budget preparation process more transparent and ensure all-inclusive involvement from all parties,” the ministry said in a statement today.
It said the government is confident that the publication of the PCP would provide more opportunities for stakeholders to provide their feedback to enable the government to formulate an annual budget that meets the needs of the people, as well one that would be in line with the country’s socio-economic development policy.
The proposals in the PCP are presented with the objective of implementing and empowering green initiatives in the government’s procurement of goods and services, the statement added.
According to the ministry, the PCP is also an instrument to achieve the government’s aspiration toward sustainable development, as well as to encourage the private sector to emulate the government’s efforts regarding green procurement. – Bernama, August 24, 2022
