It was the policy of the PTI government to focus on streamlining the system so that all the institutions could produce results in a befitting manner, he added.
He said that improving the system of accountability would help pave the way for better results.
To a question, he said If we deliver well then the people would vote for PTI in the next election, the State Minister said.
As far as the cases of National Accountability Bureau were concerned, he said the PTI government had no involvement in any case of Asif Ali Zardari or Nawaz Sharif.
