NEPRA should take over control of KESC: Raza Rabbani

ISLAMABAD: Senator Raza Rabbani has said that management of Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) has failed to abide by the provisions of privatisation accord, therefore NEPRA should take over its control.

Senator Raza Rabbani during the debate in senate session Friday said he had opposed privatisation of KESC. Handing over vital state entities to foreign entrepreneurs was a threat to national security and Karachi was passing such situation, he added. KESC management was pursing anti people and anti labourers policies, he accused.
He went on to say Managing Director (MD) of any company was not above Pakistani laws. MD KESC does not come even on the call of chief minister Sindh, governor Sindh and parliamentary committees, he pointed out.
Acting chairman Senate Jan Muhammad Jamali referred the matter of chairman NEPRA and KESC to senate standing committee on water and power. Online
