ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has decided to reshuffle the federal cabinet over dissatisfaction with the performance of certain ministers, ARY News reported on Thursday, citing government sources.
Sources said the prime minister had sought performance reports of federal ministers from various government departments and institutions to assess their progress against assigned targets.
Following a review of the reports, Shehbaz Sharif has held consultations regarding changes in the federal cabinet, sources added.
The prime minister had previously assigned specific targets to members of the federal cabinet. Ministers who failed to achieve their targets within the stipulated timeframe may not retain their positions, according to sources.
Sources further revealed that the prime minister has taken Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif into confidence over the proposed cabinet reshuffle.
The prime minister is also considering inducting new faces into the federal cabinet. Ministers of State demonstrating strong performance are likely to be promoted to the rank of federal ministers.
Meanwhile, some federal ministers have reportedly approached the prime minister seeking permission to step down from their positions. Shehbaz Sharif will also make a decision regarding their requests as part of the cabinet restructuring process.
Despite the anticipated changes, the allocation of cabinet positions among coalition partners is expected to remain unchanged, sources said.
