Chairman of
Senate Standing Committee on Commerce, Senator Muhammad Amin
Dadabhoy has said that it is essential for the government to
introduce clear-cut policies on provincial and zonal level for the
country to progress; otherwise Pakistan will lose all its
international markets.
Speaking to members of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(KCCI), he said that the country would be free of its various crisis
such as wheat crisis and power crisis once proper policies are
introduced.
Dadabhoy said that the new government needs to look at “the larger
picture” and do something for the entire industry otherwise “there
will be no industrialisation and Pakistan will be left only as a
trading house.” Dadabhoy stated that the fact that ministries of
industries and commerce is separate in Pakistan, each with its
individual ministers/chairmen, is also adding to the confusion in
policies as ideally both should come under one banner, being inter
related in so many aspects.
Chairperson of Senate Standing Committee on Industries, Production
and Special Initiative, Senator Anisa Zeb Tahir Kheli said that her
committee had come into being just three months ago, to assess the
potentials and problems faced by the business community of Pakistan.
She said that her team had visited the KCCI to pay attention to
their budget proposals which she would be then presenting in front
of the senate before the budget is announced to see how they can
make it business friendly.
Leader of the business community, Siraj Kassim Teli requested the
visiting senators to ensure that a trade ordinance that had been
passed during the last ruling government remained intact and there
were no amendments made to it.
He said that the trade ordinance had been made after discussions
with the entire business community’s consensus and prevented fake
chambers and associations from materialising.
He added “Often disagreements between political parties lead to
ordinances being also either abolished or amended, and therefore I
request the new government not to ignore this ordinance and neither
to leave any gap in the law which would help fake chambers from
establishing themselves.”
