Reports published in the media suggest appointment on contract of a retired bureaucrat as head of NEPRA, who as chairman FBR recorded the highest tax evasion in Pakistan under his tenure and his role in covering up investigations into missing 70,000 containers scam.
As if this was not enough, the ministry for Water and Power is being handed over to Minister for Defence, under whose watch PIA losses escalated by over 200 percent, CAA came under scrutiny of EU, overstaffed PIA was stuffed with surplus staff on jobs that were sold to highest bidder and who has just concluded the signing of a controversial deal for induction of 5 more B777s in violation of PPRA rules, while the national airline’s Trans-Atlantic and European operations have been slashed. This is a man who made Hajj and Umra an ordeal for pilgrims.
