  • January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD from JANUARY 25TH to JANURAY 31ST 2016 GOVT BURDENS GAS CONSUMERS with RS101BN to FINANCE PIPELINES Dawn, January 29Th, 2016
    January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 25TH TO JANURAY 31ST 2016 GOVT BURDENS GAS CONSUMERS WITH RS101BN TO FINANCE PIPELINES Dawn, January 29th, 2016 KHALEEQ KIANI ISLAMABAD: The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet on Thursday decided to charge consumers of the two gas utilities Rs101 billion to partly finance pipeline network. At a charged meeting presided over by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, the committee also approved Rs3 per unit reduction in future power tariff for industrial consumers previously announced by the prime minister in December. It also regularised import of first six cargoes of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) in April-May last year through a floating storage terminal, but deferred a final decision on LNG sales and purchase agreement between Qatargas and Pakistan State Oil (PSO) until Friday. “It was a bad day for member gas (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority, or Ogra) Amir Naseem,” said a cabinet member who attended the meeting, adding that the finance minister lost his temper at the beginning of the meeting over Ogra’s written comments against petroleum ministry’s summary on Rs101bn financing arrangement for gas companies. Ogra earlier opposed the recovery of Rs101bn from consumers through tariff, saying the pipeline projects should be financed out of Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) already being collected from consumers. The regulator believed that it could not allow under the GIDC law the “double taxation” through gas tariff. Consumers, who were already paying GIDC for pipeline infrastructure, could not be burdened again with financing for repayment of Rs101bn loan along with 17 per cent return on assets to be created by the gas companies through these loans.

  • Positions Tumble As Cabinet Sees Major Shake-Up
    19th April, 2019 Positions tumble as cabinet sees major shake-up ISLAMABAD: In a major development, Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday reshuffled his federal cabinet, changing portfolios of some key members and bringing in technocrats, as his top aide Asad Umar resigned as finance minister earlier in the day. Some ministers have been re-allocated portfolios while two others have been given no ministerial assignments hitherto following their removal as cabinet members. Neither anyone from the prime minister’s otherwise strong media team nor the ruling PTI was prepared to talk on this major cabinet shake-up. However, it was learnt from government circles that the wide-ranging cabinet reshuffle and laying off of some ministers was not final and certain other members of prime minister’s team may also be facing the axe in coming weeks if not days. Some more technocrats can also make their way to the cabinet within the next few days. Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh has been appointed as adviser to prime minister on finance, following the sudden departure of Asad Umar. The government’s ace spokesman, Fawad Chaudhry, who earlier held the portfolio of information and broadcasting, has been given the slot of minister of science and technology, while Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan got the job in his place as special assistant to PM, a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office said. Needless to say, with Firdous Ashiq Awan made special assistant on information, the prime minister will also be taking care of the ministry in the absence of a federal minister.
