The IMF has been calling on us to raise the power tariff for over a decade. Hence, it is surprising that no government has decided on an alternate strategy to reduce costs of power generation and distribution, other than focusing on line-loss issues.
A special team of cost and management accountants should be constituted to analyse the cost structures of power distribution companies and Wapda and propose measures for a cost-reduction programme.
