The appointments and transfers of officers should be based on merit. Ministers and legislators should monitor the performance of officers. If we want better government service delivery, we must give opportunities to capable officers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PPP chairman was of the view that the infighting within the party would adversely affect the government\u2019s performance and said that from now on he would personally review the performance of ministers after every six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want the delivery of services by the party and its government to suffer at all,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always encouraged teamwork. We are in politics solely to serve the poor people of the country. I have shared the five-year plan with the chief minister and its implementation is my top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that the aim was to provide free electricity through solar power to the poor people of Sindh and develop green solar parks under public-private partnerships.<br>Discussing the education sector, he mentioned that 50 per cent of schools in Sindh were damaged by floods. The provincial government has allocated funds for their reconstruction, and it is hoped that the federal government will also fulfil its promise in this regard, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said development schemes or big projects alone couldn\u2019t bring any success for the party as it\u2019s always the contact of the elected representatives with the people of their constituencies which helped build strong public support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe people are growing increasingly disillusioned with the politics of hatred and division prevailing in Islamabad,\u201d said the PPP chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy should we concern ourselves with what Imran Khan is doing? Who cares? He has his own legal matters to address. We have a mandate to serve the people. We have to meet the people\u2019s expectations which are quite high after they gave us mandate. Now we need to work tirelessly to meet the expectations of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI (National Times) Telling his party members and legislators to stay away from the \u201cpolitics of hatred in Islamabad\u201d, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday asked them to focus on improving their performance and serving the people, for which they had been elected, and warned them that from now on he would personally review their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
