Supreme Court tells SWC to implement code of conduct


The lifting of the interim order on the code of conduct for social organisations Sunday has allowed the Social Welfare Council (SWC) to implement the code that seeks to streamline different non-governmental organisations making their transactions transparent and at the same time enabling them to work more efficiently.
