His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, assured that transparency in public spending would remain a top priority of the Government.
HRH was speaking as he received at the Gudaibiya Palace His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier and discussed with him local, regional and global issues.
HRH Premier and HRH Crown Prince asserted that Bahrain provides a productive environment, and that the government is keen to ensure that ministries and state departments are committed to transparency and accountability.
They dismissed attempts to make judgments without seeking accurate information from specialised control bodies as “unacceptable,” stressing that there are regulations that govern the ways public money is preserved and ensure that it is not squandered.
The two princes lauded the “responsible stances” voiced by brotherly and friendly countries in support of Bahrain out of the brotherly and friendly ties bonding them with the kingdom, noting that the current situation requires all countries to act collectively and join efforts in order to safeguard regional and global stability and development.
