The total electricity breakdown in Karachi is not a new thing, it has been happening regularly. Electricity appears to be benefit of the privileged few. These largely are government officials, civil servants of every rank and file. They receive electricity free of charge. The myriad government departments consume the most electricity and electricity has to be supplied to them even if they never pay anything. In any case electricity should not be a Federal matter it should be a provincial issue. Provincial governments should be responsible for the supply and tariff of electricity. The Federal government has no business taking the money of different electricity supply organisation. There should be no authorities and organisations run because all of them are run by most asinine and absolutely corrupt people. At least when provincial governments are solely responsible they will much better than the Federal government.
Federal government offices in different provinces will not be supplied if they do not pay for the electricity they are consuming. No member of the National Assembly or member of the Senate would be provided electricity and petrol for free. The Federal government is the biggest electricity thief and because of it the country is suffering. As long as the Federal government has taken upon itself to supply the electricity breakdowns will persist. WAPDA, PEPCO, OGRA, NEPRA should be closed forever.
