PPP kay dramay..... 3 years baad yaad aaya. We do not need more than 15 ministries in Federal. At max we should have 20 due to some badly performing institutions. For example, we have Railways ministry. That is ridiculous. Why a separate ministry for just Railways. However, even if we keep Railways and some other ministries, we don't need more than 20. My list below has (20 ministries which is already heavy) and five-seven of these need to be transferred to provinces as soon as practical. The first column below represents the ministries which might be needed (at max). I am using "might" because we don't even need 20 ministries. Currently we have 59 ministers which can be reduced to 20 by discontinuing some ministries not needed as well as merging others.
1- Commerce, industry & privatization
2- Communication, information & broadcasting

4- Education (this should be a provincial ministry only)
5- Foreign affairs & overseas Pakistanis
