Islamabad, January 24, 2022 (PPI-OT): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has said local government system introduced by PTI government is a revolution for the empowerment of the public. Addressing a news conference in Islamabad today (Monday), he said 18th amendment was not implemented with its true spirit.

He said 18th amendment was meant to devolve power to district level but unfortunately PML-N and PPP kept it to the province level. The Minister said cities like Karachi are suffering because power is not devolved to district level. He said our growth rate has increased to 5.37 percent and per capita income has increased form 1400 dollars to 1650 dollars. He said country is heading in the right direction and its debt to GDP ratio is decreasing. To a question, he said PTI will soon finalize its nominations for mayors in the big cities.
