Federal cabinet shifts KP CM Office powers to Governor
Under the arrangement, the KP Governor will handle day-to-day administration during the provincial emergency and file a monthly report with Islamabad.
The federal cabinet on Wednesday transferred Chief Minister’s Office powers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the provincial Governor for routine administration during the state of emergency.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired the meeting; the Governor must submit a monthly review to the federal government.
The PM Office Media Wing said the cabinet hopes the KP Advisory Council, led by the Governor, will work for public welfare and restoration of law and order.
The cabinet also approved new currency note designs, a Rs10 coin to replace the Rs10 note, and ratified a Pakistan–Kuwait defence cooperation agreement.
