The government is reportedly preparing to consider the introduction of a four-day work week as part of emergency measures to address the ongoing fuel crisis. The proposal is expected to be discussed during a special high-level meeting scheduled for tomorrow at 3.00 pm at the Presidential Secretariat under the patronage of the President.
According to informed sources, heads of government departments have already been instructed to attend the meeting. The discussion is expected to focus on strategies to manage limited fuel supplies while ensuring that essential government services continue to function without major disruption.
Department heads have also been directed to present proposals outlining how fuel allocations can be prioritized for essential services. Officials are expected to assess current fuel consumption patterns across government institutions and explore methods to reduce demand while maintaining critical operations.
In addition to fuel allocation plans, the meeting will also consider the feasibility of implementing a four-day work week within the public sector. Authorities believe that reducing the number of working days could significantly cut fuel consumption linked to commuting and government transport.
As part of the preparation for the discussion, department heads have been instructed to submit suitable proposals detailing how such a work schedule could be implemented if approved. The proposals are expected to include operational adjustments, staffing considerations, and measures to ensure uninterrupted delivery of key public services.
