IT Secretary Clarifies 5G Technology Amid Parliamentary Confusion

October 23, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

ISLAMABAD: The Parliamentary Secretary for Information Technology, Sabheen Ghoury, faced scrutiny during a recent session when she struggled to define 5G technology. This incident has raised questions about the government’s understanding and readiness for the next generation of mobile networks.

During the parliamentary session, Ghoury was asked to explain the implications and benefits of 5G, a technology expected to revolutionize connectivity and digital services. Her inability to provide a clear explanation has sparked criticism from opposition members, who argue that such knowledge is essential for effective governance in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

The confusion surrounding 5G highlights broader concerns about Pakistan’s technological advancement and infrastructure readiness. As countries worldwide race to implement 5G, experts warn that delays in understanding and adopting this technology could hinder Pakistan’s competitiveness in the global market.

Looking ahead, the government is expected to hold further discussions on 5G implementation strategies, with calls for more comprehensive training and awareness programs for officials. Stakeholders are urging the Ministry of Information Technology to prioritize education on emerging technologies to ensure that policymakers are equipped to make informed decisions.
