Our cabinet will comprise of 15-20 ministers only: Imran Khan

Islamabad: (Tuesday, January 24, 2012) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has said if his party succeeds in making the government, his cabinet will comprise of 15 to 20 ministers only.

Talking in a talk show of a private television channel, Khan said that he was firm with his claim to end corruption in Pakistan within 90 days. He was of the view if head of state was an honest man, he could end corruption instantly
in the country. He said that besides honesty and integrity, ability was also a benchmark for the people to be a part of his cabinet.

Chairman PTI said he was not going to give everyone in his party a chance to take their share of the pie by having their favourite ministries, instead, he said they will have a merit based criteria which will ensure the country’s
progress within shortest possible time.

Addressing the question regarding allegation on his party to work for the military establishment, he said the Supreme Court had already taken up the case of Air Marshal (retd.) Asghar Khan regarding ISI’s money disbursement among
the politicians, and to him, it will reveal who were the politicians that were or that had been on the payroll of the secret agencies of Pakistan.

Commenting on the Memogate scandal, Imran said that after taking up the case in Supreme Court, Nawaz Sharif did not bother to pursue it properly, rather, he was silent on the way government was trying to mishandle the entire case.

Answering a question regarding his house in the Bani Gala Islamabad and its comparison with Nawaz Sharif’s home in Raiwind, Imran said that he had built his house with his own money, while the PML-N leader not only built the house
with public money, but its current expenditure and the entire infrastructure built around it was also financed through the taxpayers’ money.
