Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz's Discretionary Funds Increased

In a recent development, an approval has been given for a significant increase of Rs2 billion in discretionary funds allocated to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. This decision, made by the Punjab government, allows for a boost in the CM's discretionary funds for the upcoming fiscal year budget.

Government sources have revealed that a total of Rs5 billion has been set aside for the Punjab CM's discretionary use. This amount includes funds that were previously designated for the president, prime minister, and MNAs.

However, this move has sparked criticism from various quarters, with many viewing it as a burden on taxpayers. It is worth noting that during the PTI government, the discretionary powers of all ministers to allocate funds were rescinded.

The increase in discretionary funds for Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has raised concerns and debate among the public. The allocation of such a substantial amount for discretionary use highlights the need for transparency and accountability in government spending. It is essential for citizens to stay informed about how public funds are utilized to ensure responsible governance.
