Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) criticized government’s move to create new ministries and induct eleven new ministers and termed it a political decision which will be burden on national economy. President of PEW Dr Murtaza Mughal said on Thursday in a statement issued from his office that government will has to take additional barrowing for catering the expenditures of the newly inducted ministers , which would increase the price-hike in the country. “Government is overburdening the masses to gain political mileage.
Some 53 federal and state ministers will only help further damage the credibility of incapable ruling coalition”, said Dr Mughal. He said that the problems of people will continue to multiply as government seems only interested in strengthening their tyranny which they call democracy. He said that a property dealer has been entrusted to run IT ministry where Rs 60 billion in the Universal Support Fund may be misused. Another person who played important role in ensuring food insecurity in Pakistan has been given the charge of Capital Administration and Development Division.
