The prime minister will take an action against ministers showing zero performance.
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 13th May, 2019) Prime Minister Imran Khan has decided to remove three more ministers over poor performance.
Media reports said that the prime minister will take an action against ministers showing zero performance.
The prime minister has reportedly received several complaints against these ministers. Moreover, he has also received secret information about their corruption and assets.
The prime minister has received such reports against the ministers not once, but twice. The reports show the performance of two ministers and one special assistant as zero besides details of their corruption and increasing assets.
The prime minister, after consulting his close aides, has decided to remove these three figures. The special assistant who is considered to be a close friend of Imran Khan will be removed first. This will follow the dismissal of two more ministers.
On the other hand, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has also launched an investigation against these ministers over secret reports.
Earlier on April 18, Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced reshuffle in the federal cabinet.

Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan was made the special assistant to PM on Information and Broadcasting Division, Dr Zafarullah Mirza was assigned the portfolio of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination while Nadeem Babar was made the special assistant to PM on Petroleum Division.
