In order to bring revolutionary changes in governance, Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz on Thursday constituted a 14-member high-level committee and tasked it with submitting recommendations in 60 days about carrying out a restructuring of the provincial ministries and departments on a scale never seen before, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Naming it ‘restructuring committee’, the chief minister said that Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb would be its convener, while the provincial Finance Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman and the provincial law minister would be its members.
CM Maryam said the objective of the committee would be to identify loss-making departments and suggest measures to lay off their additional staff besides abolishing the departments formed for the same purpose.
Under the restructuring plan, which CM Maryam approved, there would be a downsizing of ministries so that official duties could be performed with ease, while different departments doing the same work would be amalgamated into one.
The restructuring of ministries and departments would save the Punjab government billions of rupees.
