LAHORE:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak has said the allocations for the chief minister’s secretariat will be slashed by 80% in the budget for 2013/14 to adopt austerity in the real sense.
Khattak was talking to media after holding a meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan.
He said that his cabinet would be according to the constitution which allows 15 provincial ministers and five advisers.
“There would be no flag on minister’s vehicles, no protocol, police security and no overspending. We believe in Allah and have no fear of any security threat. The Almighty will guard us.”
On drone attacks, Khattak said the K-P government would stand with the federal government if it announced it would stop drones.
