MESSAGE OF SECRETARY GENERAL - OICOA

Dr. Asif Mahmood Jah

(Hon’ble Federal Tax Ombudsman, Pakistan)

Secretary General OICOA

Accountability and principled governance stand as paramount tenets in the ethical fabric outlined by Islam. At its core, the Quran-Al-Majeed seeks to establish a societal framework grounded in justice, equity, and moral integrity. Those in positions of authority are particularly urged to eschew dishonesty and injustice. In light of this, Islam introduces the role of the Mohtasib, a precursor from which the foundational principles of every Ombudsman institution within OICOA are drawn.
