Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is pressing his cost-saving plan amid severe economic challenges, sources say.
He plans to abolish several key ministries and departments as part of his plan. As many as 5 ministries will be abolished in this plan. Recommendations have been requested from five federal ministries within a week.
Furthermore, the Institutional Reforms Cell established by the Prime Minister has started work on downsizing.
The ministries asked for recommendations include information technology ministries as a top priority. Others include Kashmir Affairs, Ministry of SAFRON, Industry and Production, and Ministry of Health Services.
The Prime Minister’s office asks the ministries to answer 8 questions, but these queries remain unclear. Five of these ministries have started working on providing answers. The Prime Minister has also directed to clarify the role of ministries transferred to provinces.
Do not abolish the ministries. From a to position group of people from private sector and ask them to interview every minister like they dis before hiring their employees. Sitting prime minister will find hardly one to two competent enough to run the ministry.
