Municipal tussle
With reference to your
editorial "Municipal tussle" (March 14), it should be obvious to even
certified morons why the Sindh Government is reluctant to hand over control of
local bodies to the elected mayor of Karachi. To quote just one example, the
Karachi Building Control Authority was abolished and in its place the Sindh
Building Control Authority was formed. One can guess how lucrative this
organization is from the fact that 21 out of its 25 directors are supervising
construction projects in Karachi, while the rest of the province has only four
directors (one each for Sukkur, Hyderabad, Larkana and Mirpurkhas). It seems that
eighty four percent of construction activity in Sindh takes place in Karachi.
Any guesses as to the
amount paid for a posting in SBCA's Karachi Headquarters?
