EFP calls for independent judicial inquiry into Karachi budget

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
September 1, 2020

KARACHI: President of the Apex Body of Manufacturers Ismail Suttar has blatantly resented the dismal performances of the municipal authorities of Karachi, in particular the Cantonment Board of Clifton (CBC), Defense Housing Authority (DHA) and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) despite being forewarned about monsoon spell by Pakistan Meteorological Department.

In a Statement, Ismail Suttar said that the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PMDA) seemed to have completely missed out on coordinating with utility providers like K-Electric and Karachi Water & Sewerage Board (KW&SB), which directly impacted timely response to rescue the death-struck citizens of Karachi.

“Being the Apex Body of Manufacturers of Pakistan, the EFP lamented at the Karachi Electric (KE) for mismanaging affairs while long-maintaining a dilapidated and incompetent transmission system that unfortunately requires to be shut down to prevent any electrocution incidences during monsoon”, On this, Ismail Suttar called for water-proof electricity supply structure and urged the Federal government to expedite plans of EFP proposed the formation of power markets and Regional Transmission Operators (RTOs) in a densely populated city of Karachi.

The August 2020 cumulative rainfall of 442 mm shattered the previous 429.3 mm level of 1967, Ismail reflected, but no one appeared keen enough to clean up the clogged drainages and sewerage systems installed under illegal construction and plantation sites. He held the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) and KDA, DHA, and CBC are fully accountable for allowing the encroachment to happen on grounds of dishonest persuasion by concerned parties.

Ismail Suttar vehemently regretted economic losses of over Rs. 200 billion during August to have occurred at a time when Pakistan is just recovering from the COVID Pandemic. Karachi is the bread and butter of Pakistan and if God Wills it should be transformed into a prefecture like Tokyo, Japan, with each district (Saddar, Gulshan, etc.) having one supreme authority granted complete administration jurisdiction.

EFP president demanded a judicial inquiry to evaluate the cost of damages suffered by the people of Karachi due to inadequate Nallas and storm drainages, and prolonged power and gas outages that continued for over 100 hours in some cases.
