White paper on PTI's government in KP (May 2013 – Sept 2014)

A GREAT BETRAYAL IN THE NAME OF CHANGE

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW OF KP GOVERNMENT (May 2013 – Sept 2014)
Tall claims were made in 2013 elections of a better governance model by PTI based on which it got elected. Since past 14 months we have not seen the “Naya” Pakistan promised neither in D-Chowk nor in KP.

Introduction

1. Tall claims were made in 2013 elections of a better governance model by PTI based on which it got elected.
2. Since past 14 months we have not seen the “Naya” Pakistan promised neither in D-Chowk nor in KP.
3. PTI attracted new segment of youth, women and the educated middle class into voting; but it ended up polluting their minds with hatred and introduced a politics of blames minus proofs.
4. The idea of WP is not to attract more abuses PTI style but to open the eyes of those who claim to be educated to the failed PTI model in KP where real change could have been a role model for Pakistan.
5. Whilst PTI has mastered the art of breaking all laws, wanting to be treated VIP by not adhering to any laws, and of conducting failed dharnas and entertaining jalsas it has not learnt how to deliver when blessed with governance in KP.

Pakistan Steel production capacity improving

 Pakistan Steel production capacity improving

ISLAMABAD: The production capacity of Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) has risen to 25 per cent from 3pc in May 2014 owing to financial bailout package of Rs18.5 billion.

This was stated by CEO of Pakistan Steel, Maj-Gen (Retd) Zaheer Ahmed Khan, while briefing the Federal Minister for Finance, Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar, here on Saturday.

An official announcement issued after the meeting said that Mr Khan claimed that the production capacity is expected to escalate to 77pc of the total 1.1 million tonnes per annum capacity by end of December 2014 which would be a break-even point, nullifying the losses occurring to the mills.

He apprised the minister that production is expected to touch 30pc mark by the end of September and should touch 40pc in October.

Mr Khan also briefed the minister about some issues faced by Pakistan Steel, including the imposition of 5pc duty on import of iron ore.

The minister responded that the Economic Committee of the Cabinet would consider the issue and take an appropriate decision in its next meeting.

Mr Khan also requested for relaxation in the condition of advance payment of GST on each imported shipment of raw material. He said it would be easier for Pakistan Steel to pay the GST on finished products.

The finance minister gave instructions to FBR to submit the case for decision regarding allowing three months time to PSM for payment of GST.

Other relevant administrative matters were also discussed during the meeting. The minister appreciated the surge in the production at PSM and asked the CEO to keep up the good spirit.

He hoped that Pakistan Steel would achieve the goals and targets that had been set for its complete revival.

 Remittances up by 12.6pc

KARACHI: Overseas Pak­is­­tanis kept increasing their remittances this fiscal year 2014-15 with a growth rate of over 12 per cent.

The State Bank said on Wednesday that Pakis­tanis remitted $2.978 billion in first two months (July-Aug) of current fiscal year (FY15) as compared to $2.644bn of the corresponding period last year, an increase of 12.6pc.

During FY14, the remittances increased by 13.72pc to $15.832bn as compared to $13.92bn during FY13.

The country’s reliance on remittances has been increa­sing since the exports have failed to meet the size of the imports.

School reforms roadmap

LAHORE:  Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Friday that implementation of the Punjab School Reforms Roadmap had revamped the education sector.

He was chairing a meeting held to review the roadmap. Sharif said the target of enrolling four million children in schools would be realised in October. He said the government had recruited 140,000 teachers last year to provide quality education. Adviser to Chief Minister on Punjab Schools Reform Roadmap Sir Michael Barber, briefed the chief minister about the roadmap.
Sharif said the government was spending billions of rupees to provide quality education in the Punjab. He said the government had already released funds for improving facilities in public schools. Sharif said it was imperative to further capacity building and resource utilisation in a competent fashion.
The chief minister said data collection was being digitalised to make the reforms more effective. Sharif said the government was spending billions of rupees to restore missing facilities in schools and to reconcile the number of students with the number of teachers. Sharif said teachers should pay special attention to improving academic standards in public schools.
He directed officials to constitute a committee tasked with formulating proposals regarding the matter. Sharif said the committee would also be tasked with advising the government regarding quality teacher recruitment. He said the committee would have to present its final recommendations seven days after its formation. Sharif directed officials to implement the roadmap in an effective manner. He instructed officials to ensure that solar panels were installed at schools in Rajanpur and Dera Ghazi Khan immediately to provide continuous power to the facilities.
Sharif expressed displeasure over delays in the implementation of some reforms and said zero-tolerance would be shown in this regard. British Department for International Development Country (DFID) Head Richard Montgomery and Barber praised the efforts of the chief minister. They said he was committed to promoting quality education in the province. They said the Punjab had made great strides in education, health and infrastructure under the leadership of Sharif.
They said the provision of quality education in the province had shown an improvement in his tenure. They said the provision of quality education in the province was increasing despite the political situation.
The education minister, Planning and Development Board chairman, Punjab Education Endowment Fund vice-president, schools secretary and the finance secretary were also present on the occasion. Several DFID and World Bank officials also attended the meeting.
