"Too many cooks spoil the broth."
"I don't know what you are referring to."
"Those with an input into the affairs of the Ministry of Information number quite a few and are in the select list of Who's Who around The Khan."
"Isn't that always the case?! There is Maryam Nawaz in the PML-N and Kaira in the PPP though both do not have a seat in the assembly - federal or provincial."
"I would urge you to stop making comparisons where none exist! Kaira is a mere worker bee in the PPP while Maryam Nawaz is not a worker bee in spite of her conviction. And second she considers herself as the Queen Bee in waiting and Kaira can wait till the end of time and he will remain a worker bee......"
"I concede the point, but anyway what were you referring to when you said too many cooks spoil the broth, and what broth are you referring to?"
"There is a minister of information, then there is Durrani who is special assistant to the prime minister on media then we have Yousuf Baig Mirza and then a number of media mughals meet The Khan every day...plus, there is Naeemul Haq"
"Haq is your favourite, because he slapped Daniyal Aziz, Bully Number One, on live television and like all bullies his response was muted......"
"True, if only Haq had continued with slapping the bullies outside and inside his party, anyway then there is the Minister of Finance, who is supposed to be head honcho though I reckon the special advisor on industries and production and commerce is kinda over ruling him on many matters..."
"But the revenue minister doesn't."
"No he doesn't, but then what has he done to reform the FBR so far."
"Yeah, anyway I have it on good authority that The Khan does not, I repeat does not, regard the proverb too many cooks spoil the broth as relevant."
"But surely after seven months he should have realized that too many cooks in key ministries has left their performance in the negative zone and given rise to infighting which is further undermining the performance of these ministries and..."
"The Khan believes in another proverb, notably many hands make light work."
"But that's the old Pakistan - I mean his cabinet is rivaling Mian Nawaz Sharif's in numbers though The Hopeful had a much larger cabinet..."
"The Hopeful?"
"Shahid Khaqan Abbasi who is hopeful all The Sharifs are disqualified from contesting a seat in parliament and Nawaz Sahrif would support his candidacy as he has been loyal and deferential and..."
"The zero sum game hunh!"
