No proposal over the construction of 9,000 square feet flats for ministers has been placed before the Advisers Council Committee on Government Purchase, said Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan on Tuesday. He said any project involving such a significant expenditure would necessarily have to be placed before the Purchase Committee. Such matter has not been discussed at the committee level, he said, responding to a question over the media report on flat construction. “They may be preparing something at their level, but a project involving such a large amount of money must come to the purchase committee. I attend every purchase committee meeting, and I do not recall any such proposal being placed,” he said.
