SAPM, 10 ministers to hold press conference today
48
ISLAMABAD: In an apparent bid to remove discord in federal cabinet over selection of top 10 ministries, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Establishment Arbab Shahzad will hold a press conference on Monday (today) along with the ministers chosen for the honour.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday awarded certificates to the heads of 10 ministries and divisions singled out for “good performance and achievement” of targets. These were the Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division, Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, Ministry of Human Rights, Ministry of Industries and Production, National Security Division, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of National Food Security and Research.
PM Khan had said that quarterly review of performance of the ministries would develop among them a sense of competition to give their best. He said 1,090 targets had been set by the ministries out of which 424 would be achieved this year, including 207 related to governance and 100 to infrastructure.

PTI is a society for mutual admiration. Flattery and sycophancy rules supreme. Dissent is quashed. Opposition is thrashed. Fascist Niazi

Imagine if this was Zardari’s government. Awards would have been given to those who looted the most.

The performance based ranking of ministries is not a new idea and is a common thing to do, for example UAE ranks its ministries on performance based so much so that it announces the worst performing ministry as well along with the best ones.

Pakistan achieves a "first" in some areas but not in the desired ones. Where else does such back-thumping take place? A government awarding certificates for performance to its own members and ministers just does not sound right.
