It is reported that maintaining a Minister in Parliament costs the public Rs. 60 million a month.

Economists say maintaining of a large cabinet of ministers has pushed the country towards an economic precipice.

They point out that the country is not developed enough to spend so much for the maintenance of ministers and if such wasteful spending could be minimized the budget deficit could be bridged and tax burden on the people could be removed.
