The Sindh government has expanded its cabinet significantly by appointing 29 parliamentary secretaries, adding to the already substantial administrative lineup. This move includes appointments across various departments, with each parliamentary secretary set to receive extensive perks such as additional allowances, official vehicles, and housing benefits. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah oversaw the appointments, assigning responsibilities ranging from food and transport to health and education. The decision has sparked debate over the fiscal responsibility of such expansions amidst ongoing economic challenges faced by the province. Critics argue that the allocation of resources for these positions, including foreign travel and medical allowances, raises questions about priorities amidst broader financial deficits. The move comes as the government navigates balancing its budget while maintaining essential services and development initiatives across Sindh.
