Summary Kamal said administrative divisions were a natural process and should not be opposed
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal has said that the creation of new provinces is neither unconstitutional nor illegal, arguing that smaller administrative units are necessary for the country's development.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Sindh regional office of the Allied Health Professionals Council in Karachi, Kamal said administrative divisions were a natural process and should not be opposed.
He compared the creation of new provinces to building a new house when a family grows, saying that establishing smaller provinces would help improve governance and accelerate development across the country.
The minister said that despite the passage of 17 years since the 18th Constitutional Amendment, provinces had failed to transfer powers and financial resources to the grassroots level.
He maintained that the establishment of new and smaller provinces had become essential to ensure better administration and development throughout Pakistan.
Speaking about Karachi, Kamal said the city had the potential to help the country overcome its economic challenges if given the necessary administrative powers.
He said Karachi could become a major driver of Pakistan's economic growth.
