Caretaker cabinet to meet last time tomorrow

ISLAMABAD: The caretaker federal cabinet will hold its last meeting tomorrow (Saturday) to review its performance. The meeting to be chaired by Prime Minister Mohammadmian Soomro at the Prime Minister Secretariat will review the tasks assigned to it, besides the decision taken during its brief stint in power. The first meeting of the caretaker cabinet was held on Nov 18, 2007 and had to take crucial decisions including rescheduling of the holding of general election on Feb 18, following the death of Chairperson of PPP Ms Benazir Bhutto. Under the Constitution the President is empowered to appoint a caretaker cabinet, after the National assembly completes its tenure, or is dissolved, to look after the day-to-day affairs and hold fresh election within the stipulated time.
