The PM said that the government was committed to to improve transparency and accountability in public procurement and administration.

Mr. Sing proclaimed that his government would "do its utmost to improve transparency and accountability" in the work of public authorities and was committed to taking all possible measures to "curb corruption in administration" and deliver governance to citizens. Singh mentioned the Lokpal bill among the measures his government was taking in this direction.

"Apart from the Lokpal bill, a bill to amend the Land Acquisition Act has also been introduced in Parliament," he said. Singh added that efforts for rapid progress and development could have their full impact only if "we curb corruption in public life and improve the processes of governance". "I believe this is the right time to move decisively in this direction," he said.

"We are working for enacting a law to bring more transparency and accountability into our procurement systems. I expect the state governments also to act similarly so that these efforts touch all levels of governance in all parts of our country," Singh added.
