Why doesn’t SECP just take over running all Companies instead ? . No capital Expansion , so no Employeement, so no increase on Exports . Is that the way to go? Every country is reducing the interference of Govt in business , here we are increasing it . Good luck

No, SECP has not got the power to approve the capex or disposal of assets. Rather, it has amended the provision related to approval by Board under Sec 183 of Companies Act, 2017.
