The computer and internet savvy caretaker cabinet’s reliance on laptops has surprised their staff and secretariat officials, who consider it a major shift from the traditional mode of working of ministers, Pakistan Today has learnt.
The move came as a surprise for senior bureaucrats when a few cabinet members demanded internet USB ports because they worked on their laptops – something which is considered very ‘novel’ for government officials who are used to the traditional mode of working.
“Traditionally, cabinet members don’t use laptops or computers, only government officials gave presentations using these. So this is definitely a surprise for us,” an official explained, on the condition of anonymity.
Even caretaker Chief Minister Najam Sethi in a recent meeting with journalists quipped that no one from amongst his staff knew the password of his computer. “Even the email address of the chief minister was not active and no one knew the password,” Sethi added.
Whats so special about it? Bloody show-offs have no invented anything so far.
