PTI Sindh rejects Wahab as Karachi administrator

SUKKUR: After the disapproval of Governor Sindh Imran Ismail, the Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has also opposed the possible move of PPP’s leadership to make Murtaza Wahab as the Karachi administrator.

In a statement on Sunday, Haleem Adil Sheikh said Murtaza Wahab has a pretty good face but is not capable of running the affairs of Karachi, asking him to better continue defending the corrupt practices of PPP leadership in TV talk-shows. He said Murtaza Wahab, who was rejected by the people in the general elections, could not be accepted for the top slot to run Katachi’s affairs, saying he had already been enjoying two portfolios in Sindh cabinet and making enough money like his other colleagues. He alleged being Sindh Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Coastal Development, Wahab had miserably failed to take any action against those who had been polluting the river water and irrigation canals right from Sukkur to Karachi.

The PTI central leader said industrial, animal, and human waste material were being dumped into the River Indus at various places near Sukkur, in canals like Begari in Shikarpur, Phuleli in Hyderabad, KB Feeder in Kotri and others across the province. Meanwhile, the people were being forced to drink the same contaminated water since the Adviser to the Sindh CM Murtaza Wahab had never bothered to take any action against those involved in such a heinous crime. Haleem Sheikh alleged that Wahab had been heading the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency and was earning huge kickbacks by issuing NOCs to different industrial units, builders, various other projects and schemes without proper public hearings as per the rules of SEPA.
