'Small, efficient Cabinet in country's interest'

KARACHI (Online) Tariq Sayeed, former President FPCCI has welcomed the decision of the Government to reduce the size of Cabinet, stating that it would shorten the volume of non-development expenditures of the Government and provide quality leadership to the country instead of quantitative representation. He said that smaller but efficient cabinet was in the best interest of the country particularly in view of the present circumstances the country is faced with. He cited the example of other countries and said that Pakistan with a population of 170 million had a huge Cabinet of 96 ministers which was quite bigger as compared with the Worlds most populous country China, which has only 14 Ministers, representing population of 1.35 billion. While India, the second largest population of the World (1.26 billion) has 26 Ministers, USA, the third largest nation with a population of over 310 million has a cabinet of 14 Ministers.
