ISLAMABAD: Senate’s Standing Committee for Water and Power displayed immense outrage over the absenteeism of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation’s CEO from the meeting which was to discuss and analyse the production capacity along with the per unit production cost of Electricity.
Senate’s Standing Committee (SSC) for Water and Power met under the headship of Chairman Zahid Khan at the Parliament House on Thursday. Persistent warnings were given to the KESC CEO Tabish Gohar following his absence from the prior meeting as well and since he did not appear today, the SSC ordered his arrest further instructing the officials to present Tabish Gohar in the upcoming meeting.
During the meeting, discussion and analysis were made in order to ascertain the output produced by KESC, its production capacity, per unit production cost and details of the power supplied to it by WAPDA.
Senator Shahi Syed, also a member of the committee, termed KESC as a ‘White Elephant’ proposed a strict action against KESC after fulfilling all legal requirements.
Water and Power Secretary Nargis Sethi stated that KESC’s CEO should present himself in front of the Parliament since it is the Supreme institution of this country and his absence would further be deemed as a contempt of the institution.
SSC, while ordering the authorities to issue the arrest warrant against Tabish Gohar, instructed the Interior Secretary Sindh to make KESC’s CEO appear in the upcoming meeting scheduled on December 3.
