Performance report sought from ministers
Prime Minister Imran Khan has sought a report on the performance of his federal ministries during the first 100 days of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.
He has also sought a report on austerity measures.
During a party meeting, the prime minister inquired about progress on the various plans featuring his government’s 100-day plan and directed his ministers to submit an evaluation report.
He said that it is imperative to share the government’s performance with the public.
The ministers will also have to issue notifications on any public money saved by adopting austerity measures.
The report is to include the initiatives taken to provide relief to the public and the degree of commitment to the government’s manifesto.
The report is also to mention measures undertaken by ministers to curb corruption in their respective departments.
The ministers with promising reports will receive recognition.
The PTI-led government launched a website last month to apprise the public of the PTI’s 100-day agenda.
Adviser to the Prime Minister on Establishment Mohamed Shehzad Arbab said that the website – pm100days. pmo.gov.pk – has been created for the public and the media to track progress on the “100 Days Agenda”.
After a visit to China, Khan is due to leave for Malaysia soon.
“We want to be transparent … we are accountable to the public. So we have launched a website to help people keep track of our performance,” said Arbab.
On May 20, ahead of the general elections on July 25, the PTI chairman unveiled his government’s 100-day plan.
He had promised that his party would utilise the valuable experience they gained by governing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province if elected to lead the country after the elections.
Khan had promised policies to make education, employment and other basic needs accessible to the common man.
