Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa Net Hydel Profit
PM promised to give khyber Pakhtunkhwa government Net Hydel profit of Rs 110 billion during month of July . lets hope the notification doesn’t stuck some mysterious place in WAPDA and ministry of finance.
Pay and Pension commission recommendation
Media report suggest ministry of finance has declined to implement pay and pension commission recommendation of minimum salary of Rs 8500 for government employee . I humble request to Prime minister is to atleast implement his 1 May order of 7000 as minimum pay .
Implementation of NFC award
Implementation of NFC award is perhaps the most daunting task for the present democratic government . Record allocation of funds for provincial government, Gas surcharge for Baluchistan government, Net hydel profit for Khyber Pakhutkhuwa government & and additional funds for rehabilitation purposes due to war in the province is all part of NFC award .
Come july 2011 many federal subject will become provincial subject in light of eighteen amendment. which will makes the next year budget making even more tricky .
I want to say to Hon’ Prime Minister to have a look over worst condition of less salaried Govt. Employees who are already deprived and after his rejection to Pay & Pension Commissions recommendation, the deprived Govt. employees have no hope to survive in the coming Financial year, as their salaries are not good enough to even have their basic needs to be accommodated.
Plz. Mr. P.M. re-organize your decision for the betterment of Govt. employees future.
Government of Pakistan will soon unveil its new budget for the year 2010-2011. Every Pakistani is Waiting for horror budget . The budget most likely comes to every Pakistani as a shocker with huge taxes and obviously less benefits to the masses. Once again this budget is not beneficial for poor population of Pakistan.
