The premier who did not spare the opportunity to take a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, said, "This is a Rs3.81 billion worth project, has anyone done this for Kohat before? Who has spoken about gas for Kohat before?"
"We are not here to talk, we have laid the foundation," PM Nawaz said, adding that he can give his life for the people of Kohat.
Promising a state of the art hospital and a project for free medical treatment in Kohat, the premier said, "You will no longer have to take your children to Islamabad and Rawalpindi for treatment. It will be provided to them over here."
"Nobody will have to take loans or sell their assets for treatment anymore," the premier told those in attendance.
PM Nawaz last month inaugurated five developmental projects at Gwadar in Balochistan.

“I agree with my minister Mir Hasil Bizenjo when he says that Gwadar is Balochistan and Balochistan is Gwadar. Gwadar is Pakistan and Pakistan is Gwadar,” PM Nawaz said while addressing a ceremony after unveiling the developmental projects.
The development projects include a free trade zone, business complex of Gwadar Port Authority, Pak-China Government Primary School Faqir Colony, Sawar and Shadikor dams and Gwadar University, according to Radio Pakistan.
