State corporations like PIA which are bleeding today are a victim of political appointments by successive governments for the past decade. These appointments which were not made on merit and are a product of cronyism have led to massive pilferages, corruption, mismanagement and abuse.
As if enough damage had not been done to PIA, the present regime has appointed a Senator as a full time Political Advisor on PIA. What role does a political advisor have in a commercial airline baffles the imagination. Why doesn’t this government appoint such political advisors to their self owned industries like sugar mills, cement mills, textile factories and other business houses, or are such misadventures only to be confined to corporations owned by the poor tax payers of Pakistan.
