Shahbaz in Karachi

In Karachi, sweepers have not been paid salaries
for months and garbage has been accumulating on the streets for days,
endangering the lives and health of taxpayers.
The Sindh government (which should really be
called a ‘non-government’) has a huge budget (Rs680 billion), but no one has
been able to find out how and on what this money is spent. After six years of
misgovernance by the present lot, Karachi has been turned into the world's
dirtiest city, compared to Lahore, which in my opinion is now the world's
cleanest city. I would request Nawaz Sharif that before spending billions on
the Karachi Green Bus and Karachi-Lahore motorway, he should loan us the
services of his talented brother Shahbaz Sharif for six months. I am sure the
latter will change the face of Karachi beyond recognition.
