IT Minister Backs KP Governor’s Rule

Federal Minister for Information Technology Shaza Fatima Khawaja has expressed her support for the new Governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). She believes this move will enhance governance, provide stability, and ultimately benefit the provincial populace. During an interview with journalists, Shaza highlighted that the changes would be advantageous for residents throughout the province.

She explained that previously, it had been challenging to arrange meetings with individuals in the region due to persistent protests. The minister also assured the public that she would work towards improving digital services in KP and expanding access to technology, ensuring that its benefits reach every household.

Regarding satellite internet services, Shaza stated that the government is prepared to issue internet licenses once the Pakistan Space Activities Regulatory Board (PSARB) finalizes the necessary regulations. She emphasized that PSARB is an independent regulatory authority, operating autonomously from the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT). Consequently, the ministry cannot proceed with the licensing process until PSARB completes and publishes its rules.
