ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said on Sunday that a task force under the finance minister would determine the sizes of federal and provincial governments, look at options to better manage pension funds, as well as make efforts to rationalize public expenditure and increase revenue.

In an interview with a private television, the PM said that is convinced that there is a need to rationalize expenditure and increase the revenue to create a viable state and lessen existential risks due to economic vulnerability.

He said the Special Investment Facilitation Council was trying to help achieve appropriate governance and address the reasons for ill-governance in the past.

He added that the civil institutions were relaxed in their work in the past but now the military leadership, with its organizational strength, had increased the confidence level of civil service, which had renewed energy to implement policies and achieve targets.
