My question to the Minister of Water and Power Dr Asim Hussain and other government leaders is this: Has Wapda and related power companies been established to generate and distribute electricity for the people of Pakistan or for its own employees?
If they are established for the people of Pakistan, with the money of the people of Pakistan, then how come they are giving millions of free electricity units to Wapda, Nepra, DisCOs etc employees?
If an industry distributes all its product among its own employees, how can they sell their product and make a profit of it then? If Wapda gives all (or most of) its electricity units free of cost to its employees, then how can the people of Pakistan, who pay Wapda employees’ salaries, get any electricity unit? How can Wapda make a profit?
If the government has ended subsidiaries for the consumers, then they should also end subsidiaries for government (Wapda) employees too.
