KARACHI, June 6: The management of the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation should be changed to give a totally new dimension to the working of such an important organization.

This was stated by the Sindh minister for planning and development, Shoaib Bokhari, in a press release issued here on Friday.

The minister said that the KESC should have a new board of directors, comprising public representatives and business leaders. He added that this would help the organization lift itself from the present morass of inefficiency, to something which was beneficial to consumers, as well as, its employees.

He said: “The minister for local government, Sindh, or the City Nazim should be its chairman, a technocrat should be its managing director and three MPAs from Karachi, two urban and one rural, should be its members, two eminent engineers to be appointed by the government of Sindh, and two directors from private share holders, etc.”
