The government has made this change with the aim of further strengthening transparency, accountability and efficiency in the administrative system.
According to the Delhi government, as per the instructions of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, these transfers and appointments have been made purely for administrative needs and for the purpose of promoting honesty and transparency in the system. To make the functioning more efficient, the government has assigned new responsibilities to 23 Deputy Controllers of Accounts and 29 Senior Accounts Officers.
Rekha Gupta has clarified that the aim of the Delhi government is to establish such an administrative system, which meets the highest standards of transparency, accountability, efficiency and good governance.
