ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Friday said his government was accountable to the people of Pakistan only and that they will decide as to who delivered and who did not.
Chairing a meeting of the Parliamentary Party of the PML-N, the prime minister said despite the huge problems that his government inherited in 2013, Pakistan today was more stronger and stable. He said his government believed in the rule of values and not that of power and was serving the people of Pakistan with utmost sincerity.
The prime minister said his government worked very hard and now the development projects were being completed on a fast pace with utmost transparency and efficiency. He regretted that in the past development projects were delayed and cost over-run was common, however now savings were being achieved on these projects.
He said the government was not only working on energy projects but was also trying to make energy affordable for the consumers. He said the projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) were being completed on fast pace and said by next few months 3600 MW would be added to the national grid.
The prime minister said his government was working for providing a secure base for sustainable energy sources for Pakistan. “We are working hard to complete even those projects that were abandoned … because we want development of Pakistan and our people,” he said.
He said the whole country was being connected through the network of roads and motorways and this connectivity would bring huge dividends for business, industry, exports. He said the government was working on governance reforms, which was a long process with opposition from various segments. However, he said, the government was determined to bring in a positive change.
He said the security situation has improved during the tenure of the PML-N government. He said his government also focused on development of AJ&K, Gilgit-Baltistan and FATA to bring these at par with other provinces.
Later, the federal cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approved the budget proposals of fiscal year 2017-18.
Finance Division secretary briefed the cabinet on the budgetary and taxation proposals.
The prime minister told the cabinet that the government was presenting an unprecedented Rs 1 trillion development budget for the next year, as it sincerely believed in serving the masses selflessly.
The approved budget proposals were later placed before the National Assembly.
