Speaking to the media in the capital city, the minister said the public was annoyed by the previous governments’ lavish ways of living.
It is important that government officials live in a way that does not waste public money, Mehmood added.
“To cut reduce the expenses,” he further said, “Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has decided not to live in the PM House, and so did the governors.”
