According to reports, interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has accelerated consultations to establish the interim government.
The sources further stated that the acting prime minister has made the decision to assemble a small cabinet and individually go through each candidate’s resume.
The caretaker prime minister reportedly told his pals, “I don’t want to put more burden on the country suffering from economic problems.”
In addition, PM Kakar made it clear that he wanted his protocol to be kept to a minimum since he didn’t want to waste money or put people through hardship.

Additionally, according to the sources, Muhammad Ali Durrani, a former minister of information, is expected to receive the responsibility of the Ministry of Information.
The Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) leader and former senator Kakar took the oath of office as Pakistan’s ninth caretaker prime minister the day before the country’s upcoming general elections.
According to sources, the temporary prime minister has retained PSPM Dr. Syed Tauqir Hussain Shah, joint secretary Mohib Ali, and previous PM Ahad Cheema’s advisor.
