Provincial minister Shah Farman asked why isn’t PESCO chief replaced if line losses are getting out of control.
Earlier today, Federal Minister for Water and Power, Abid Sher Ali had held Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government responsible for line losses and pending electricity bills.
Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Abi Sher Ali had accused Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ministers of backing power thieves.
“It is easy to stage sit-ins and difficult to show performance” he said.
Abid Sher Ali said that MPAs including Fazal Elahi, Shah Farman, Ahmad Zari and others have failed to ensure that the people in their constituencies pay their dues to PESCO.
“Around 90% of the users in their constituencies are defaulters,” he had claimed.
He further claimed that PESCO employees were tortured when they visited the areas to make recoveries.
We will cut those hands now if anyone manhandled our staff again, he warned.
Sher Ali also said that certain areas bordering Peshawar have become no-go locations for PESCO employees who cannot carry on with their work because of security threats.
PTI and PMLN’s hurling of stiff statements at each other has been ongoing since the general elections campaigning and continues to this day.
KP government had demanded the federal government to hand over the PESCO and related authorities to the provincial government in order to curb line losses and other pertaining issues.
