Dar’s replacement

Letter November 18, 2017
Finance minister to face accountability courts and corruption charges upon his return to the country,

LAHORE: As the finance minister is to face accountability courts and corruption charges upon his return to the country, the government is already seeking his replacement. Reports of a meeting between the PM and ousted PM Nawaz Sharif emerged as the former proposed and tried to convince the latter to have the minister for interior and planning and development the charge of finance ministry, too.

With reasons being unknown for Ahsan Iqbal’s name being considered for the job, it would be a major blunder to one person another important portfolio as he has already two equally important portfolios.

So another person should be appointed the new finance minister.
