"Though a bit emotional for this honour, I give an oath on my true faith to the people of Pakistan that if elevated, I will make sure that every penny of public exchequer spent by the treasury benches is accounted for in true sense and it is expended in such a way that the real benefits of entire federal public spending reaches their actual and just recipients," he added.
