The drowning

Author: Gulalai Khan

Sir: It should now be clear that the only thing the Sindh government is interested in is to enrich its ministers and their cronies by any means, instead of working to alleviate the problems of the people of Karachi (who contribute most of its Rs 680 billion budget).
I suggest that the concerned minister be charged with dereliction of duty. That would at least make these politicians aware of their responsibilities to the taxpayers. And they should give at least Rs one million instead of the pittance (Rs 200,000) they’ve offered to the victim’s families. This is more important than wasting money in buying junk equipment for the police from suppliers who are known to be close to members of the ruling clique.
