The Pakistan government on Tuesday told a parliamentary panel that there was no chairman of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Authority at present as members of the National Assembly had challenged the legal status of the defunct agency and the functioning of its top management.
After interesting discussions and a brief break to allow senior officials of the Ministry of Planning and Development to seek clarifications, the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Special Initiatives deferred “The China Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2020” to its next meeting.
As discussion started on the bill during a meeting of the standing committee, MNA Syed Agha Rafiullah inquired as to who was chairman of the CPEC Authority. “No one,” responded Planning and Development Secretary Mathar Niaz Rana.
