The meeting also reviewed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the prime minister will soon be given a detailed presentation on the various CPEC projects, Radio Pakistan reported.

Later, briefing the media persons about the decisions taken during the cabinet meeting, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the task forces will complete their working on the matters and present their plan in 90-days' time.

"The prime minister will also review the performance of these task forces after every 15 days," Chaudhry said.

Answering a question about how more jobs will be created, Chaudhry said the government will not employ unnecessary help in its own departments, "that is not how you create jobs, our task is to create opportunities where eligible people can apply, that is what the task force is working on."

For me these were promises that will be most difficult to fulfil and the chances that if we achieve 20% of both it will be a massive step forward. On the houses front an effort should be made to use premade houses but both are issues that need tackling.
