Murad Ali Shah halves security protocol, creates WhatsApp group for cabinet’s coordination

Newly elected Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah the other day asked his principal secretary to slash his motorcade protocol by half and set an example of punctuality for others by arriving at his office at the new Sindh Secretariat building at 9am.

In reply to a question, the principal secretary informed the chief minister that nine vehicles or police mobile vans usually moved with the chief minister for his security and protocol. The chief minister asked him to reduce them by four. The order was implemented forthwith, said the spokesman.

He also created a WhatsApp group for cabinet members to keep him informed about their activities and to review their performance.

The chief minister was received at his office by additional chief secretary (development) Mohammad Waseem and secretary for the general administration.

According to official spokesman, Senator Rehman Malik also called on the chief minister at the CM Secretariat and discussed issues of mutual interests.

Officials said that lawmaker of the Sindh Assembly Manzoor Wassan also called on Shah.

Earlier, the chief minister visited legendary cricketer Hanif Mohammad at the Aga Khan University Hospital and inquired after his health.

He prayed for his early recovery while saying with enthusiasm that he was his fan. He asked the health secretary accompanying him to ensure that he receives the best health facilities at the hospital.
