Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar has said the system of local government should be fully empowered and government is going to announce an empowered local govt system in Islamabad and Punjab.
Addressing the All Stake-Holders Conference Sindh hosted by Pakistan Tehreek Insaf in Karachi on Sunday, he said PTI leadership is ready to sit with the Sindh government to resolve the problems of the province.
He said empowering the provinces alone will not solve the problems unless the powers are given to the lower levels.
Minister for Planning said that the problems of the cities will not be solved until the local govt system is empowered.
Federal Minister said the voice of the people living in Karachi should also be heard. We will raise our voice at every forum for the solution to Karachi’s problems.
Asad Umar said the constitution says that democracy is incomplete without local governments.
