Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to appeal to the constitutionally elected President of Pakistan, His Excellency, Asif Zardari to immediately order appointment of men of integrity, vision, qualifications and requisite experience to head national organisation like Pakistan Railways, NHA, PIA, PASSCO, CAA, TCP, FBR, CDA, etc. I fail to understand the tendency of elected executive to be seen defying logic, common sense, rules and norms of propriety while taking decisions which relate to the working of state owned corporations and award of contracts.
The PPP is the party of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto whose choice of appointments was confined to most qualified men of integrity, which was reflected by balance sheets, quality of service and performance of PIA, Railways, etc. There is no dearth of talented and qualified honest men in Pakistan who through sheer hard work, commitment and dedication can turn around state corporations and bring credit to the PPP government.
