KP Govt to Launch Insaf Emergency Cab Service
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Health Department has decided to launch Insaf Emergency Cab Service in the province to pick up patients in an emergency from their doorsteps.
The idea came up in a meeting chaired by Health Minister Dr. Hisham Inamullah Khan, as per an official statement. During the meeting, they planned to start an Insaf Emergency Cab Service at district and tehsil headquarter hospitals, basic health units, and rural health centers
These cars will prove to be effective in transporting emergency patients from their homes to the hospitals, given there are no dedicated ambulances for the purpose. In this way, the quick health services will be accessible to the general public.
The provincial health minister directed the concerned authorities to make all necessary arrangements in this regard. Insaf Emergency Cab Service will help the poor patients in far-flung areas of the province, especially those in the merged districts to reach hospitals in time.
He further asserted that the government will take strict action against those who remain negligent in performing their duties. The minister vowed to follow the reward and punishment system to put everything in the right direction.
The meeting was apprised that cabs for the service will be provided by the provincial health department

A high-level UAE delegation is due in next few days where the matter pertaining to the much-awaited $800 million outstanding dues on account of privatization of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is likely to be resolved.
This was stated by Secretary Privatization Rizwan Malik while briefing the Senate Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication.
The committee met with Rubina Khalid in the chair on Wednesday where Privatization Division briefed the committee on the privatization of PTCL along with the sale, purchase agreement.
Malik said that due to lack of proper homework for identifying properties by the concerned departments, issues were created for the government of Pakistan. During the last high-level interaction, it was evident that for the first time Etisalat has shifted their position and shown interest to resolve the matter amicably.
According to the agreement in case of non-transferable of properties, both sides would independently evaluate its prices and the highest would be adjusted. According to Pakistan’s side evaluation, the remaining 34 properties have a value of $87 million as made by independent valuers, which was also shared with Etisalat and the Escrow Agent. However Etisalat shares its findings with the Escrow agent but not with the government of Pakistan, Secretary added

“A 15-member delegation of Saudi Arabia visited Gwadar from Karachi as part of the finalization process of the MoU for Aramco oil refinery,” Haroon Sharif, Minister of State and Chairman of Pakistan Board of Investment (BoI), told Arab News.
“We have finalized the MoU for the construction of Aramco oil refinery,” Sharif said adding that “overall directions have been agreed upon and the agreement will be signed at an ‘appropriate time’.”

Pakistan hopes to attract more than $40 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the next five years. “We estimate that roughly around $40 billion investment will be made by these three countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China) in the next three to five years,” Sharif had told Arab New during his recent interview.

Pakistan’s logistics market

Pakistan’s logistics market has reached $34.2 billion with annual growth of 18 percent, a minister said on Saturday, while unveiling a plan for state-owned postal operator to enter into ecommerce business.
Minister for Postal Services Murad Saeed said future initiatives of Pakistan Post would be compatible with the contemporary needs of existing times.
“This would include an entry into the ecommerce business,” Saeed said at a meeting.
The minister announced a pilot project for microfinance loan disbursement of Khushhali Bank through Pakistan Post. The project will be piloted by the first week of January and will formally be inaugurated by the mid of January.
The meeting was told that Pakistan Post has the capacity and commitment to deliver for online vendors for their cash on delivery products with proof of delivery and prompt reconciliation of their payments.
“Many international web portal operators have shown their interest to enter into the Pakistani market with Pakistan Post as their delivery partner,” an official statement said. “Apart from the business, Pakistan Post is expecting technology transfer and HR development from them.”
Pakistan Post is also targeting the parcel export market worth four billion dollars, which is catered by local and international private couriers at very high rates.
The postal operator is expecting up to $2.5 billion in foreign direct investment on public-private partnership model for the capacity building of Pakistan Post in the logistic sector.
“The revenue share of Pakistan Post in this endeavour is expected up to Rs100 billion per annum whereas the current loss of Pakistan Post is at Rs11 billion,” the statement added. The minister emphasised focus on the domestic money transfer market which was primarily the legacy of Pakistan Post as money order delivery “but ironically was captured by private entrepreneurs”.
Saeed envisaged to bring technology and investment in the market and is working to have a bigger share for Pakistan Post for the electronic money transfer market. At present, the market stands at Rs80 billion, while Pakistan Post only has one percent of the market share.
The minister for postal services also inaugurated the Pakistan Post mobile app for services featuring complaint handling, real time tracking, e-commerce delivery, post office locations, post codes and information about postal services.

Abdul Razak Dawood’s company wins bid to construct Mohmand Dam
The joint venture of Pakistani company, Descon, owned by Adviser to PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood, and a Chinese company, China Gezhouba, have won the bid for construction of the Rs309 billion Mohmand Dam, having a capacity to generate 800MW of electricity.
Mohammad Dam is basically the flood control dam and after its construction, the dam will be able to store 300,000 cusecs of water, and will save Charsadda, Peshawar and Nowshera. The cost of the said project in 2003 stood at $1 billion which has now swelled to $3 billion due to the inordinate delay in Musharraf’s regime.
The said dam, if it was completed on time, could have helped avert the 2010 flood, which caused a loss of $10 billion. During the Musharraf’s regime, the said dam was handed over to a US company, AMZO, which did nothing for eight years and inflicted a huge loss of Rs152 billion to the Pakistani economy.
However, in Pakistan People’s Party era, the project was handed over to WAPDA. Soon after, WAPDA arranged $6 million from AFD, a French development agency, for detailed engineering of the project.
WAPDA Chairman Gen (r) Mozammil Hussain confirmed that Descon and China Gezhouba have won the bid and to this effect, the contractor will mobilize to the site of the project within 10 weeks.
“The international competitive bidding was held in a single bid mode and the Joint Venture of Descon and China Gezhouba has qualified for the project. Other joint venture of FWO with Power China also participated in the bid but could not win the project,” the chairman said

Govt in Talks With International Experts to Develop the New Islamabad Master Plan

Currently, there is an ongoing tug of war between the government and the bureaucracy regarding who should get the reins of the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
In this backdrop, the government is planning to take the services of international experts on urban planning and sustainable architecture to develop the new Islamabad master plan considering the modern techniques and requirements.

According to the sources available, the government has made a breakthrough regarding the matter. It has found the only Ph.D. on the Capital’s master plan. The individual is a Pakistani national, working in Brussels for more than 20 years. He has agreed to work voluntarily on Islamabad’s Master Plan.
Professor Dr. Ahmed Zaib Khan, an expert on sustainable urban development, has agreed to work with the federal government and chalk out a new master plan for the capital city that will account for the modern and sustainable architecture and urban trends.
Currently, Dr. Khan is in Pakistan for vacation and serves at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He is well versed in framing master plans for urban development in the European Union, Latin America, and Africa.
According to Dr. Khan,
I think I have been serving the world with my abilities and it is about time that I should return my services to my country and my people now. I want to serve purely on a voluntary basis and don’t seek anything from Pakistan in return.
As for the tussle between the government and the CDA officials, the bureaucracy is trying to foil transparency and moderation. Reportedly, the top CDA officials have recently attempted a covert move to retain their control over the affairs by taking over the CDA’s Board of Directors (BOD)

Pakistan Set to Receive Investments Worth Over $30 Billion From Close Allies

As the New Year celebrations are set to begin in Pakistan within hours, here is a reason for Pakistanis to celebrate the onset of the year with double joy.

The outgoing year has not been very conducive for the countrymen as far as the economic condition of the country is concerned. During the year, many economic indicators were showing a declining trend and the country was faced with an imminent balance of payment crisis.

However, the country is slated to ink investment deals with some of its close allies to the tune of billions of dollars, which will help revive the ailing economy of the country.

“We will be signing agreements with investors from SaudiArabia, the UAE, #Germany, Malaysia, and Korea in January which is worth more than $30 billion,” Haroon Sharif, Minister of State and Chairman, Board of Investment, told a Saudi newspaper.

The country has firm and solid commitments from three of its allies, namely Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and China, ensuring that the country becomes the hub of diversified investments in the coming years, Sharif said.

“We are going to sign several Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Aramco and Acwa Power within a few weeks. Saudi Aramco is going to set up an oil refinery and petrochemical complex in Pakistan while Acwa Power will invest in Pakistan’s renewable energy sector,” Sharif told the newspaper.

The country is expected to receive around $15 billion in investment from Saudi Arabia in the next three years. “The inflow of investment for the oil refinery and petrochemical complex in Pakistan is estimated to be between $6 billion to $10 billion.”

Islamabad is also expecting a substantial amount of investment from the UAE, with major focus sectors continuing to be petrochemical, real estate, port and shipping development, agriculture, and corporate farming.

“I am expecting a similar amount ($15 billion) from the UAE in the next three to five years. We will sign a MoU with UAE’s companies in January 2019,” Sharif said, adding that the “Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), DP World, and Emaar Properties are among the prominent names who have committed to investing in Pakistan”.

In addition to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Pakistan has also signed an agreement with China which is being described as the second phase of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. “We had signed an industrial cooperation agreement with China two weeks ago. Under the agreement they will put up industries in Pakistan’s economic zones which are located in Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP),” Sharif, who had signed the agreement, said, adding that five priority areas have been identified, namely “food and agriculture, value-added textile, mining, and emerging technologies”.

Apart from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and China, the BOI has received written commitments from Malaysian, German, and Korean investors.
