he size of the cabinet expanded by inducting five more federal ministers. The size of cabinet is now 55 plus apart from a number of other figures relishing the status of federal minister. The public kitty, which is starved of cash due to massive corruption, lacks money even for urgently needed projects like power generation. Now it will be under further strain as it shells out millions of rupees more on the upkeep of the new inductees. The government should spend this huge amount of money for the welfare of the masses rather than political expediency. Public health and education sectors could be improved by using this money. Government can also control energy crisis from this amount. I am of the view that the government should do something for masses and take back decision of new induction. I also appeal to government to do something in the best interest of the country.
