The National Board of Revenue (NBR) and all officials and employees under the Internal Resources Division (IRD) have been instructed to refrain from travelling abroad until the upcoming national election, except for unavoidable reasons.
The directive follows a circular issued by the Chief Adviser’s Office, after which the IRD forwarded the instructions to NBR.
The Chief Adviser’s Office recently wrote to the IRD Secretary expressing concern that officials were travelling abroad without adhering to existing government instructions.
The letter noted instances where both the adviser in charge of a ministry and its secretary were abroad at the same time, as well as situations where multiple officials from the same ministry travelled overseas simultaneously, reports UNB.
