Power generation, distribution should be handed over to private sector: PEW

Ad hoc measures by Govt shows lack of interest, commitment

Govt should seek apology from masses on failed promises, failures

 

Islamabad: [July 08]

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said power generation and distribution network should be handed over to private sector.

 

Government has failed to address acute energy problem which has made lives of common people and business community miserable and put brakes on the growth, it said.

 

Rulers prefer to bury their heads in sand by ordering ad hoc measures; bureaucracy seems to be more interested in barring investment in energy sector while concerned ministries are too much focused on rental power which has proved useless, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

 

Power ministers of the current regime have been promising since years to overcome load shedding; these claims were never taken seriously owing to government's lack of commitment, he said.

 

Similarly, top government officials frequently announce that few hundred megawatts have been added to the system but how was that materialised is never disclosed, he added.

 

Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that government has failed to implement decision to close markets in peak hours to save energy which also speaks of lack of will.

 

He said that international donors as well as investors are not ready to invest in Pakistan's energy sector while concerned departments are not ready to facilitate Chinese investment which is unfortunate, he said.

 

He said that plans to build mega hydro power projects have hit snags, import gas and electricity from Iran, Middle East and central Asia could not be materialised while Thar Coal reserves are waiting for exploitation.

 

Successes of the government on energy front are only visible in official record and newspapers while there is nothing on the ground, he said.

 

In this scenario, he said, government should seek apology from masses on ailed promises and consider handing over power generation and distribution system to private sector in stages.

 

There is no dearth of capable, honest and dedicated individuals in Pakistan's private sector who will try best to serve nation, he said.

Dear Shahid,
Your info is good but a bit incomplete.
According to my information, two officials of RIUJ got enraged over the disclosure of this massive scam involving millions of dollars and tortured a journalist in the premises of National Press Club.
The gang is also looking to settle score with two more journalists who acted as traitors to inform whole community about the scam.
Shame on journalist community which is silent over this scam including so called editors of investigation etc who would never forgive anyone else and ever write false stories against politicians and bureaucrats but would hide this matter.
What A SHAME

Strong post-war growth potential opportunity for Pak investors: Lankan minister

Trade bodies of two countries should forge enhances ties: Bathiudeen

Visit to prove a significant milestone: Raza Khan

 

 

Islamabad: (July 06 )--Rishad Bathiudeen, Minister for Industries and Commerce of Sri Lanka on Wednesday said his country aims to boost economic, trade and commercial ties with a genuine friend like Pakistan.

 

He said that Sri Lanka is Pakistan's biggest trading partner in Saarc outside India and we share common perceptions on many regional and global issues.

 

Speaking to business community at FPCCI, Capital Office, Bathiudeen said that the current bilateral trade volume stands at $338 million which can be increased with the help of private sector.

 

He said that balance of trade has always been in favour of Pakistan which is contributing to economic development of a brotherly country.

 

Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Pakistan Jayalath Weerakkody, Raza Khan, Chairman Coordination, FPCCI, Hameed Akhtar Chadda, VP, ICCI, Tauseef Zaman, Shahid ur Rehman, government officials as well as businessmen of both countries were also present on the occasion.

 

The minister said both governments have agreed to provide enhanced opportunities to the private sector to interact to benefit from untapped potential.

 

Plans to cement links and other steps to further encourage Pakistani investors are on the cards, he added.

 

The Lankan Commerce Minister invited Pakistani investors to his country saying that strong post-war growth potential is an opportunity for everyone.

 

Pakistanis can get trade concession in all the countries and groupings of which Sri Lanka is a signatory, he informed adding that we urgently need some fifty thousand head of cattle from Pakistan.

 

At the occasion, Raza Khan said that 8.1 per cent growth, per capita GDP hike to $2400 and economic freedom standing at 57.1proves that investors have trust in policies of Sri Lankan government.  

 

He said that decision to allow 100 per cent owner ship to foreign investors without needing a local partner will attract heavy investments in geo-strategic placed country.  

 

Visit of Rishad Bathiudeen will prove a significant milestone in the history of both countries and will go a long way in fastening the ties, said Raza Khan.

 

He thanked the minister for inviting FPCCI delegation and assured participation in international exhibition and business forum "Expo2012," scheduled March 2012.
