Tariq Fazal new CADD minister

E-Paper | June 13, 2026

ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to appoint MNA Tariq Fazal Chaudhry the state minster for Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD), replacing Barrister Usman Ibrahim.

A press statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office on Friday stated: “The prime minister has decided to appoint Tariq Fazal Chaudhry as state minister for CADD.”

The MNA has been involved in CADD’s affairs since parents of private school students started protesting against fee hike some three months ago.

Besides, he also raised salary issue of daily wage employees (teaching and non-teaching) of FDE schools and colleges at CADD meetings.

A source in the division told Dawn that the federal government was not satisfied with the performance of Usman Ibrahim.

“The PM Office was not happy with the performance of CADD, particularly its subordinate departments such as Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) and Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (PEIRA),” the source said, adding that the government under the indirect supervision of Maryam Nawaz, wanted to improve education system in the federal capital.

'the government under the indirect supervision of Maryam Nawaz, wanted to improve education system in the federal capital'. She already heads (informally) information ministry and attends official meetings. But she is not an elected lawmaker. Only in Pakistan.

@Gramscian The media, be it electronic or press, highlights dynastic politics only if it has a link, if any, with PTI. Imagine how the heading would have been, had it been Reham instead of Maryam. Such dynastic politics must be discouraged.

Federal Government should clean up CDA, its one of the most incompetent authority. D-12 and E-12 sectors were announced decade ago but still little development work, lack of proper access road to D-12, streetlights and civic ammenities in Islamabad does not work. Visit CDA at 11 am and no one is in the office, corruption from bottom to top. Health, education, clean water all big issues even in our Capital city. However I am not too optimistic from N League, they lack vision and good intentions. Leadership vaccum all over and Maryam Nawaz is best they can offer.
