Senate Gives FG One Week to Explain Unpaid Contractors’ Debts

The Senate has directed the Finance Ministry to provide a detailed account of its plan to resolve the outstanding debts owed to contractors within a week. This move comes as a six-member committee was established to scrutinize the issue, highlighting the government's failure to pay contractors on time. This situation underscores broader concerns about fiscal responsibility and the impact on the construction sector, potentially affecting job security and economic stability. The urgency of the Senate's action signals a critical push for transparency and accountability in government spending.
