ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister Abbas Khan Afridi, who had been without a portfolio, was allocated ministry of textile industry by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday.

A notification in this regard released immediately.

Afridi, who originates from Fata, had independently competed in the general elections.

He was also the second highest tax payer in the country last year.

Previously, textile had been with federal minister Engr Khurram Dastagir Khan who also held the portfolio of commerce.

With Afridi being awarded textile industry, only Akram Khan Durrani remains without a portfolio in Nawaz’s 20 member cabinet.

I doubt if he has any relevant experience. I dislike this feudal practice of doling out ministries like KHAIRAT. In USA there are similar practices, but at least people given posts are qualified for jobs they are given.

What does this guy know? What is his back-ground? Can he tell 'Count' from 'Denier'?
