Austerity committee proposes recovering extra plots from influential people

NAC recommends recovering  redundant plots from influential  parts.  Plots given at cheap prices will be  recaptured to help pay off public debt.  NAC  proffers can save  public kitty Rs,000 billion annually.  The National Austerity Committee( NAC) has suggested that multiple plots of land be reclaimed from  individualities in positions of power and influence,  similar as civil and military  functionaries, judges, and other members of society.   

All plots given away at throwaway prices will be recovered and auctioned off to pay off the growing public debt.

The commission recommended installation ofpre-paid  measures in gas and electricity sectors  each over the country.   The NAC assigned the Finance Ministry to work out the  fiscal impact of each recommendation for attaching to the final  interpretation of the report. According to rough and  original estimates, the NAC recommendation could save the  public bankroll  coffers ranging from Rs500 billion to Rs,000 billion on an periodic base if  enforced in its true letter and spirit.   

The NAC recommended  slighting a ban on foreign visits and only obligatory visits should be allowed with the  authorization of competent authority. It recommended the relinquishment of ane-procurement system at all  categories of government.   “ As a cracker, we've finalised major recommendations without consideration of any  important  parts as we proposed austerity for all  parts of the society, including parliamentarians, civil and military  functionaries, judges and any other influential group, 

” one member of NAC told The News in background  conversations held then on Wednesday.   The NAC also considered that the commission report would be tabled before the civil  press to get  blessing from the loftiest decision- making forum in the country.   The NAC recommended  rescinding all  optional schemes for parliamentarians.   

It's yet to be seen how Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif- led government is going to  authorize these recommendations at a time when the government has jacked up the controversial Sustainable Development Goals( SDGs) Achievement Programme from Rs68 billion to Rs89 billion for the current  financial time. still, only  lately the government increased SDGs Achievement Programme backing by Rs3 billion and it went up from Rs86 billion to Rs89 billion.   

The NAC recommended that the size of the civil  press shouldn't exceed  further than 30 members. In case of any  coercion, other members of the civil  press should be asked to work on a pro bono base. Federal and  parochial lawgivers should immolate 15 of their  hires and  gratuities. They also proposed a 10 cut in  hires of government  workers at all  situations.   

The NAC proposed a 15 reduction in the  intermittent budget for all ministries divisions for one time till June 2024. The Pension Reforms should be in place before the coming budget 2023- 24. The Pay and Pension Commission has not yet prepared its report, so the NAC made the recommendation to  apply the pension reforms from the  launch of the coming  fiscal time.   The NAC also recommended  rescinding  optional backing for intelligence agencies. 

All allowances except part of  payment should be abolished. The  operation of petrol should be reduced by 30 at all  situations. There should be a ban on  copping

new vehicles till June 2024. There should be a complete ban on luxury vehicles  similar as SUVs and others. The commission recommended-government and online meetings  rather of physical presence in  sanctioned meetings.   The NAC proposed outsourcing of  force of goods, a complete ban on the creation of new  executive units in all  categories of government, with a  obligatory shift to daylight savings time and drastic reductions in entitlements.   This scribe  communicated  one member of NAC for inquiring about the deadline for submission of the report to the PM. He replied that the NAC members have finalised their recommendations and now the jotting of the report was underway.   “ presumably, we will submit our report by  moment( Thursday), ” he concluded.
