We don't want to see five years pass by just sitting idle: Showkat Aziz Russell

Those appointed to the ministries will need to be held accountable for what they plan to do in the first 90 days and what they will do afterwards. We don't want to see five years pass with everyone just sitting idle.
The selections made for the cabinet seem appropriate. Now, the real test is how much they can deliver. The government will have to take many policies, and it will be important to see how supportive the officials and opposition parties are in implementing them.
There are immense challenges in the economy. Investor confidence, especially in terms of investment, is almost nonexistent. But we are also seeing potential.
