Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI) Imran Khan has said that if his party came into government the menace of terrorism and corruption could be defunct in first 90 days.
Addressing an energy conference arranged by his party here on Sunday, he said that the energy crises was the biggest issue of the country which is leading country towards bankruptcy and deindustrialization as more and more industries were closing daily.
He said that in his government the size of federal cabinet would be small and only honest and competent people would be made ministers.
With 60-member cabinet, how a prime minister can hold on to any authority, he questioned.
He termed the rental power plant project a disaster and said that if Tehreek-e-Insaf came into power it will constitute an autonomous body for resolving energy crises and cabinet will not interfere in any institutions day affairs.
“Police and bureaucracy would be depoliticised and the government structure will be changed altogether,” Imran Khan said, adding that leaders and party heads will never ever make long term policies for the country.
“The PTI will present a comprehensive solution of energy crisis,” PTI chief said, and added that whole system of governance in the country needed to change by ending political interference in the state institutions.
Imran also vowed to give Pakistan the governance which no other government has delivered in the past.
Earlier, giving his presentation on energy crises, PTI representative Jahngir Khan Tareen said that energy policy vision identifies poor governance as the main reason for our current energy crises.
“There has been a lack of long term planning and implementation over the last four decades with increasing reliance on quick but expensive fixes such as imported thermal and rental power plants,” he said.
He further added that Indigenous resources such as domestic gas, abundant hydel and thar coal had been criminally ignored.
He said that dependence on imported furnace oil has increased the total oil import bill from $2 billion to $12 billion in the last decade and the current government had neither the ability nor the political will to make the sector financially viable by lowering losses and leakages in the system and reducing the cost of generation. He further said that the government had instead spent 1 trillion in subsidies, almost doubled tariffs and there is still no solution in sight.
“Peak power shortage will rise from the current 5,500 MW to over 11,000 MW in the next five years leading to even more hours of load-shedding than today,” he said, commenting that the natural gas deficit will rise from 1,600 mmcfd in the next five years, leading to massive economic disruptions and consumer misery whereas energy import bill will rise from $12 billion to $60 billion by 2025.
Jahngir Khan Tareen said that “Big Bang” governance reforms would be launched in the first 100 days of PTI government and also a single, professional energy ministry and single empowered energy regulator would be constituted.
“Public sector enterprises like GENCOs, DISCOs, OGDC, etc would be liberated from government interference,” he said. He added that power sector generation will be opened up to small and medium investors and adopt use of renewable, off-grid solutions like solar biomass micro hydel for rural electrification.
He further said that for resolving the issue of circular debt overall transmission and distribution losses would be decreased from 20 to 10 per cent and collection from 88 to 95 percent.
“PTI will add 40,000 MW electricity in national grid within five years by fast-tracking stalled pipeline projects and CASA hydel-based import and 20,00 mmcfd gas would be added from domestic gas within five years by facilitating and incentivinzing existing and new investors,” Jahngir Tareen added.

  2. and Baluchistan Issue in 90 hours ?khan sahab Sultan Rahi ki tarhan Barkain na maroo agar dam hai Tu Baluchistan mai Rallly kar k dikhaoo Tu app Ko hum Leader manay.

  14. He is saying and doing all this for us, let’s say he can’t do that in 90days but still he is a honest guy and want to see a better Pakistan.

    I don’t know, most of people have stones in their heads.

    WAKE UP

    • Yes it can. being an engineer i know this that if projects start…Pakistan has existing capacity of 23000 MW..only the maintenance is needed..so please do your research and then comment. its not rocket science..plain engineering!!

  20. actually tetrorism can be sorted out fairly quickly, corruption will take time but progress can be made quickly stikk. Balochistan is years of hurt. however seriousness and concrete efforts on PTI’s part could probe fruitful. IK is not a natural politician, for me thats a plus point.

  25. MY ONLY QUESTION IS THAT HOW HE WILL DO THAT? OUR HEART SAYS TO TRUST HIM BUT MIND SAYS THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE… WHAT IS THE METHODOLOGY OF VISSION? HOW HE WILL DO SO????????????

  26. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. He has successfully step into every field and most likely he can prove in governance too.

  29. Imran Khan has a point but the problem is how is he going to become the PM unless his party sweeps next polls. The only way for him to come in power would be through an extra constitutional step.

  32. PPP and PML-N has proven failures, so no right for them to criticize. Jo khawab nahi daikh saktai wo amal kia karaingai. Every big leader is big dreamer.

  33. When will politicians stop fooling the people. Politicians always promise change and do not tell the people that change takes time and comes with a price.

  36. Thats how a politician give a road map. Touches important points and give a clear roadmap. Thats how an educated politician speaks of visions. I had never seen the present crooks give such clear vision. Imran Khan Yes you can.

  39. I don't understand it. Why do ppp and n league keep winning seats in elections if everybody is tired of them? If people are serious about change they need to show it by throwing ppp and nawaz league out of the parliament. As long as they keep voting the same crooks in, nothing will change. I am afraid ppp will win the next election because people won't take a stand and are not willing to sacrifice. Too bad for Pakistan.

  41. here Either rulers got changed or the ruled ones but the poor situation , corruption, terrorism, inflation remains constantly rising……

  42. EU will be providing Pakistan with the latest robot system which would help the bomb disposal squads in spotting the improvised explosive devices, that terrorists use to spread violence.

  43. Well Said sir! I hope the elections come soon and you win with the 100 percent majority. You are the only hope of Pakistan and can help Pakistan is getting it rid of terrorism and the improvised explosive devices.

  44. Improvised explosive devices have already claimed thousands of innocent lives in Pakistan. EU has taken a timely step by providing Pakistan with modern robot system.

  47. He has not understood, what terrorism is. The man who says he can eradicate terrorism within 90 days, be sure, he does not know its vast-spread and deep roots. He is a demagogue who is befooling people by false promises.
