Small cabinets

Published May 23, 2013

KEEPING in view the tumbling government exchequer, Nawaz Sharif should induct a very small cabinet composed of most competent and dedicated persons. Besides, incoming government must observe absolute austerity so that the maximum fund could be spent on the people’s welfare.

Education and health should always be a top priority so that human progress could be achieved to make the country stronger in the future. There should not be any compromise on merit in appointments of top slots to run each and every organisation of the country.

People are despaired as a result of constant sufferings in the face of inflation and insecurity owing to the breakdown of law and order. The new government should try hard to check the prices of essential commodities and deal sternly to restore the law and order to provide security of life and property to the people.
