ISLAMABAD: Some on the government benches vent their displeasure at the award of certificates to the ministers especially to Murad Saeed. Among them was Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ali Muhammad Khan, who told a National Assembly committee that those ministers, who had not fulfilled their responsibilities had been rewarded.
The minister and others started complaining during the meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Government Assurances. Khan said that some ministers disassociated themselves from these assurances in the house yet they got the award.
“The ministers who do not fulfill their responsibilities, do not appear in the relevant standing committees meetings, are entitled to the award,” he said. “I support the summoning of the relevant ministers and secretaries as per the agenda of the committees,” he added
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday distributed certificates among his best performing ministries with Minister for Communication and Postal Services Murad Saeed remaining on top.
