Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is chairing a federal cabinet meeting on Saturday. The meeting, to be held in Lahore virtually through a video link, is expected to lay out clear targets and objectives for ministries across various sectors, including the economy, agriculture, industry and trade, minerals, IT, and education.
Sources suggest that Prime Minister Sharif may outline the points of his five-year national agenda during the meeting, highlighting the government’s priorities and vision for the nation’s development.
The PM is anticipated to assign short- and long-term goals to ministries, with a focus on achieving tangible outcomes within specified timeframes.
Sources say that for the first time in Pakistan’s history, ministries have been provided with clear targets and objectives, which they would have to achieve within a certain timeframe. Each ministry will be held accountable for its performance and the attainment of set targets, reflecting a commitment to transparency and accountability in governance.
Ahead of the meeting, a comprehensive document outlining the targets for ministries was circulated, providing clear instructions and resource allocations. Prime Minister Sharif is expected to discuss this document with cabinet members, emphasizing the importance of achieving set targets to drive progress and development in the country.
In addition to setting targets for ministries, the federal cabinet meeting will also address issues related to the letter from six judges of the Islamabad High Court. The PM will consult the cabinet members on the establishment of an inquiry commission to address the concerns raised and decide on the matter.
