Islamabad: The government on Wednesday honored its commitment to political parties as the National Assembly’s acting speaker constituted a bicameral parliamentary committee to oversee the multibillion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

The decision to constitute the committee was taken during a parties conference (APC) convened on May 28 to develop a national consensus on the $46 billion economic corridor, which will join China’s south-western region with Gwadar port. In this regard, the National Assembly adopted a motion on June 24 and Senate on July 10.

The oversight committee was constituted in consultation with Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani and leaders of the parliamentary parties.

“Acting Speaker Murtaza Javed Abbasi has approved the constitution of a parliamentary committee on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The National Assembly Secretariat has issued a notification in this regard,” said a statement issued by the NA Secretariat.

The panel has been mandated to oversee the CPEC projects to ensure the implementation of the consensus reached in the APC. “The committee will monitor the implementation of the projects and make recommendations for their speedy and timely implementation.

“The committee may also make recommendations for improvements that may result in cost and time reduction as well as provision of better services to the public,” said the statement.

It added that the committee would also endeavor to promote consensus and support for the CPEC in the federation. “The committee will present its periodic report in both houses of the Majlis Shoora (Parliament). Furthermore, the committee has been authorized to make rules to regulate its procedure,” it added.

The parliamentary committee represents 11 political parties and an independent National Assembly member from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata).

The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has six panel members: Lt Gen (retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch, Rana Muhammad Afzal Khan, Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari, Dr. Ibadullah and Isphanyar M Bhandara.

Members of the Pakistan Peoples Party include Aijaz Hussain Jakhrani and Sardar Fateh Muhammad Hasani, who belongs to the province of Balochistan.

Asad Umer and Senator Shibli Fraz will represent the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Akram Khan Durrani and Senator Talha Mehmood would represent the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, and Amir Haider Hoti and Baaz Muhammad Khan would represent the Awami National Party.

Other members include Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Ghous Bux Khan Mahar from the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional, Mahmood Khan Achakzai from the Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party, Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao from the Qaumi Watan Party, Mushahid Hussain Sayed from the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid and Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo from the National Party.

Syed Ghazi Gulab Jamal is a member from the tribal region, while Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms Ahsan Iqbal will act as an ex-officio member of the committee.
