ISLMAABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan has said PTI government will make appointments on merit to improve governance and transparency.
Addressing after the launching ceremony of four trains in Islamabad on Friday, the Prime Minister said public sector enterprises have become loss making entities due to political interventions and appointments made on personal connections in the past.
He said each year a loss of 500 billion rupees accrues in these organizations. In power sector alone, the losses have reached to an amount of 1200 billion rupees.
The Prime Minister said ultimately it is the people who have to pay more for goods and services in order to compensate for the losses of public sector enterprises.
He urged the Railways Minister to get rid of employees who were appointed on political basis in previous governments and are not contributing positively to the department.
