“Excluding the posts of president and prime minister, almost the same setup that is being followed in AJK will be copied in GB,” the sources said. All legislative powers of provinces would be delegated to GB assembly along with all subjects of GB council. One seat for GB is to be created/designated in FPSC to be filled by a retired officer of GB domicile. The special committee on constitutional package had also proposed a robust local government system in GB. However, a reliable source claimed that irrespective of the final recommendations of the committee, the stakeholders could not reach a conclusion regarding making GB the fifth province of the country.
