I had honour of being the Chairperson of Senate Standing Committee on Narcotics Control and Health respectively, but to be the Chairperson of Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat and Capital Administration and Development is a unique and novel experience, due to the vast, enriched and diverse ambit of the Committee. The broad spectrum of the purview of the Committee can be assessed by the fact that multifarious scope of the jurisdiction of the Committee ranges from sophisticated technical issues of the PTA, NEPRA, OGRA, PIA to purely legal matters pertaining to the Establishment Division. However, I feel proud that the Committee tackled all these issues superbly, due to the expertise and diligence of my worthy colleagues whose dedication and un wavered commitment brought about several achievements to the credit of the committee., it frequently engaged in conducting meetings to perform its oversight role effectively, in order to ensure the transparency and the fairness in the relevant divisions as well as the attached departments, if any legislative is needed and proposed for that., as the representative of the peoples, the Committee targeted to facilitate the peoples and protects their interests. In order to perform its core function of the oversight, the Committee adapted the mechanism, which consisted of identifying the malfunction/negligence/ flaws/ misconduct/ discrepancy or deviation from any prescribed rules, probe it; suggest recommendations and follow up / pursue the implementation status. The Committee Members several times in different cases, which were closely related to the sensitive issues like the public health and the environment, visited the sites in order to know the ground realities and also cross checked the deviated statements of few officers. The Committee more focused on the structural changes, resultantly which have paid dividends to the peoples. The Committee’s efforts and the decisions were within the defined framework/mandate. I appreciate my fellow members of the Committee for their active participation and contributions, which helped me to perform this role as the Chairperson effectively. I attribute the achievements accomplished by the Committee to them, because without their diligence and cooperation it would not have been possible. It would be injustice for not acknowledging the cooperation and commitment of the government official of relevant Ministries/ Divisions. The 4 Committee is determined to keep on playing its active role, by making recommendations to facilitate the Government, to resolve the issues of the public at large in the Country. I appreciate the cooperation of the Chairman Senate Mr. Nair Hussain Bukhari, Deputy Chairman Senate Mr. Sabir Ali Baloch, Leader of the House Raja Zafarul Haq and Leader of the opposition Barister Aitizaz Hussain Syed for their continued cooperation and guidance. We look forward to the continued cooperation of the Senate Secretariat which, under the dynamic leadership of Secretary of Mr. Amjad Parvez, has always been at the beck and call of all members of the Senate, particularly the Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat and Capital Administration & Development .We would look forward to suggestions from our members on what may be needed to improve further this report, since it would be a regular feature of our work. I am also indebted to the Secretary Committee Ghulam Murtaza and his staff for continuously perusing the implementation status through corresponding with the relevant entities; and my personal staff specially Mr. Mohammad Abid Ashraf and Hafiz Asim Shahjahan for their diligence, commitment, research, valuable and sincere efforts for facilitation of the Committee to attain its goals. (SENATOR MRS KALSOOM PARVEEN) Chairperson Standing Committee 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Standing Committee are the backbone of parliamentary system in the democratic dispensation Parliaments, around the world, function through the Standing Committee, which are deemed to be the eyes and ears of the parliament, eyes riveted on the officialdom to oversee the executive to implement the policies enshrined by the Government. Ears committed and devoted to listen to the voice of the masses and convey to the Government of the day. These committees on one hand, hold the officialdom and Government of the day, accountable and put in valuable suggestions in formulation of the policies by the Government. Furthermore, Parliaments without effective role of Standing Committees cannot discharge their basic obligations of legislation. In short, the whole parliamentary façade rests upon the pillars of the Standing Committees. The Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat and Capital administration and Development according to Scehdule1, Rule 3(1) deals with matters and issues pertaining to several institutions under the administrative control of the Cabinet, Establishment, Capital Administration & Development Divisions and Prime Minister’s Secretariat. The Committee, under the vigilant Chairpersonship of Honourable Mrs. Kalsoom Parveen endeavored very hard to perform all the aforementioned functions of the Committee i-e parliamentary oversight and the accountability of the officialdom, conveying the sentiments of the public to the Government and legislation on the issues referred by the House. In depth, perusal of the proceedings of the Committee will reveal that despite the vast scope of the work, the Committee did not spare any important issue unattended. During the proceedings of the meetings, the Committee observed that despite significance changes in the working environment as well as the dynamics of the society, the affairs of the public entities are being run by following obsolete conventional techniques, which consequently maintain the status qou. The Committee in that scenario focused to perform effectively its oversight role, in order to get rid of status quo and avoid the misuse of the excessive power, which ultimately leads to corruption. The Committee observed that there is a dire need to evolve a fool proof system to eradicate violation and negligence of the rules, which ultimately leads to detriment of the interests of the people. It is necessary to bring about core structural changes to insulate the system form corruption and to establish the rule of law. The Committee, therefore, 6 emphasized on restructuring of the public sector institutions to synchronise them with the needs of the day and to make them more effective and responsive to general public. The Committee held several meetings during the period from June, 2012 to June, 2013, and took up the issues pertaining to the Cabinet & Establishment Divisions, CDA, PTA, BISP, ERRA, OGRA, NEPRA, and health and educational intuitions under the administrative control of Capital Administration and Division, some of which are highlighted below:- Highlights of issues taken up by the Standing Committee and the recommendations made ,there on :- • CDA& CAAD I.

  • An Introduction to Women's Parliamentary Caucus Parliament
    An Introduction to Women’s Parliamentary Caucus Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan The Caucus Icons —Three Legendary Women: Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah – 1893-1967 Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, the youngest sister of the Founder of the Nation Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and a dentist by profession, emerged as the leading woman voice during the freedom struggle. During this Movement, she rendered innumerable services in organising Muslim women of the Sub-Continent from the platforms of “All India Muslim League’s Women Wing” and “All India Muslim Women Students Organisation” to seek for a separate homeland that would ensure equal rights to all its citizens, without any discrimination of gender, class or creed. While touring the remotest corners of the country, the “brother and sister duo” stood shoulder to shoulder, hence giving a message of “partnership on equal basis” loud and clear. In his book, “Jinnah, Pakistan and Islamic Ideology”, renowned writer and historian Prof. Akbar S. Ahmed records: “Quaid-e-Azam asked Fatima Jinnah to sit beside him at Sibi Darbar, the grand annual gathering of Baluch and Pakhtun chiefs and leaders. He was making a point: Muslim women must take their place in the history of Pakistan. The Sibi Darbar broke all precedents” She reached the zenith of her political accomplishments, when towards the end of her life in 1965 she defied tradition and challenged the dictatorship of Field Marshal Ayub Khan by contesting against him as the unanimous candidate of all the opposition parties. Even a conservative party like the Jamaat-i-Islami accepted her as a woman presidential candidate.
