Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar says the government is taking steps to rationalize expenditures and increase revenue of the government to create a viable state and lessen existential threats due to economic vulnerability.
In an interview with a private television, he said a task force, headed by the Caretaker Finance Minister, would determine sizes of federal and provincial governments, besides making efforts to rationalize public expenditure and increase revenue.
Anwaar ul Haq Kakar said the Special Investment Facilitation Council is attempting to help achieve appropriate governance and address the reasons for ill governance in the past.
He said the caretaker government and the military leadership have a clear viewpoint that the movement of people and goods at the borders of Iran and Afghanistan should be regulated.
Replying to a query, the Prime Minister said it is the prerogative of the Election Commission to announce date for elections.
He said the general election should be held before March next year so that the Senate elections can be held to fill the vacant seat on retiring of incumbent Senators.
