A Senate subcommittee is pressuring the federal government to finalize the closure of 17 ministries that fall under provincial jurisdiction following the 18th Constitutional Amendment. During a recent session, the committee expressed frustration over the administration's failure to comply with previous directives regarding these departments. The panel, led by Senator Zamir Hussain Ghumro, criticized the Cabinet Division for sending low-level representation and failing to provide adequate explanations. Officials warned that they may issue summons for the Cabinet Secretary or request the Prime Minister's personal attendance to address the lack of progress. The committee maintains that the continued operation of these federal entities violates the constitutional framework, setting the stage for a potential institutional standoff between the legislative oversight body and the executive branch.
