A meeting of the Cabinet Committee on State-Owned Enterprises (CCoSOEs) was held in Islamabad today under the chairmanship of Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Muhammad Aurangzeb.

The Committee considered two agenda items concerning the appointment of Chairman/Independent Director of National Engineering Services Pakistan (NESPAK), and reconstitution of the Board of Directors of Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO), alongside appointment of an independent director on the Board of Sukkur Electric Power Company (SEPCO). After deliberations, both proposals were approved.

The Finance Minister emphasised that government representatives serving as ex-officio directors on these boards should be appropriately placed, competent and possess the requisite experience and institutional understanding to effectively represent their respective divisions.
