Why Karachiites suffer from K-electric-SSGC dispute, asks Sindh CM

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Friday took stance at the frequent load shedding and questioned public’s fault in the disputes between K-electric and Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC).

Citing the plague pertaining to the ongoing energy crisis and inconvenience, he asked why the public has to turn victim in the clashes among SSGC and K-Electric.

The Sindh CM stressed out that public meetings are being carried out in Islamabad whilst Karachi remains neglected, adding that even the municipal’s financial advisor remains lip-locked on the alarming situation.

He suggested that the federal officials may pocket the K-electric and SSGC shares but handover the management of Board of Directors and the outcome will then be evident.

He contended that the federals government can surrender the authority to the provincial government if they are incapable of fixing the massive power-outage.
