In another tweet, theminister said the “huge improvement” in circular debt build up as compared to the last year of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) govt was “achieved despite massive increase in capacity payments caused by decisions committed by the last government whereas the current was govt improving performance and clearing mess inherited from PML-N in every sector.”
“This improvement in energy sector performance and slow down in build up of circular debt has been the result of sustained hard work, analytical data based decision making and willingness to break the nexus between decision makers and powerful elite,” he maintained.
