Size of the cabinet
Published in Daily Times: Monday, February 21, 2011
Present PPP-led government has always acted according to
public demand and opinion. Within three years, this government has achieved
milestones such as the NFC Award, Swat Operation, Balochistan Package, 18th and
19th Amendments, etc. Instead of always demanding more from our government, we
should now realize that democracy needs time to strengthen its roots and
structure. Nothing can change within days. However, lots of things have changed
in the short span of three years within our system.
The recent decision to
decrease the size of the cabinet is also a great achievement and a positive
move forward for democratic growth and evolution. Our free media and opposition
actors should at least encourage this achievement of the government. This
reform will not only save national wealth but will also help in the better
functioning of the ministries. Instead of propagating it as ‘old wine in a new
bottle’, the media and opposition elements should have said a few words of
encouragement; this would have also shown their sincerity towards the nation
and love for democracy.
