By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Mar. 3: Minister for
Communication and Information Technology, Rekha Sharma, has said that the
government is focused on refining policies and laws both on the media and the information
technology.
Speaking at a meeting with the central
office bearers of the Press Center Nepal at the Ministry, Minister Sharma viewed
that outdated laws were creating hurdles to bring in improvement in both the
communication and the information technology sectors.
She observed that laws dating back to
Panchayat system had to be changed in line with the political change and
federal republican structure in the country.
Minister Sharma urged the journalists
to make publicity of the good works of the government and stay as watchdog to
alert the government on issues that need correction.
She remarked that the press should express the voice of the people.
