ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has appointed Senator Fida Muhammad as Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Whip in Senate on Tuesday.
The prime minister also appointed Senator Ejaz Chaudhry as PTI’s Parliamentary Leader in the Upper House of Parliament.
Earlier in the day, it was predicted that the premier would make changes to his cabinet within the coming few days. Moreover, consultations with his special aides have reportedly been completed in this matter.
Shortly after the Senate elections had ended, Prime Minister Imran Khan had decided to reshuffle the federal cabinet. Other than some new faces making their way into the federal cabinet, the portfolios of some of the ministers are also likely to be changed.
According to the sources, proposals had been prepared in the cabinet as well as in the bureaucracy. These changes are likely to concern the offices of the Punjab chief secretary, Home Department federal secretary and information secretary.
Sources said Prime Minister Imran Khan is not happy with the performance of several key ministers, so he has decided that only those who can deliver will remain in the cabinet.
It is pertinent to mention that Hammad Azhar last week replaced Hafeez Shaikh as minister of Finance, while the PM’s aide on petroleum, Nadeem Baber, had been asked to step down for the sake of transparency.
