PM Shehbaz Sharif Announces Bi-Monthly Review of Ministries’ Performance, Warns of Disciplinary Action

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that the federal government will conduct a performance review of all ministries every two months, with the aim of identifying shortcomings and taking necessary disciplinary actions when required.
Chairing an important meeting of the federal cabinet, the Prime Minister emphasized that no one would be allowed to create false impressions about their work, and only real, results-driven performance would be recognized.
“Our cabinet has now been in place for one and a half years. From now on, every ministry’s performance will be evaluated every two months,” said PM Sharif. “We will appreciate good results, work to fix flaws, and I will not hesitate to take disciplinary action if needed.”
He stressed that performance, transparency, and public service are the top priorities of his government, stating, “Only those who meet the standard will be honored, and those who do not will be made to realize their shortcomings.”
During the cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister also praised the peaceful observance of Muharram-ul-Haram, extending congratulations to the interior minister, provincial chief ministers, and the people of Pakistan. He attributed the peaceful environment of the processions and gatherings to the effective coordination among federal, provincial, and AJK administrations, noting that national unity and harmony were crucial to this success.
PM Shehbaz also addressed the recent rainfall incidents, acknowledging the tragic loss of lives, particularly in Swat. He stated that the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) had become a robust institution, and despite prior instructions to the provinces, the rains still caused significant damage. “We must learn from this and ensure better preparedness in the future,” he urged.
On the economic front, the Prime Minister highlighted that Pakistan’s stock exchange has reached record-high levels, describing the bullish market trend as a clear indication of investor confidence. “Our collective efforts are yielding results, and we must continue to work together for economic stability and growth,” he concluded.
