During the event, PM Imran Khan distributed certificates of appreciation among the top 10 ministers and announced bonuses for the employees of the best-performing ministries.
Addressing the event, the premier said that the only purpose of ranking the ministers based on their performance is to motivate them to further improve their performance.
He added that no government can work without adhering to the principle of reward and accountability, noting that all ministers should be aware of the performances of other cabinet members.
PM Imran Khan also criticized his Advisor on Establishment, Shehzad Arbab, for leaking the list of top 10 ministers before the official event, which forced a number of ministers to skip the certificate distributing ceremony.
