KARACHI, Sept 30: The KESC’s
People Workers Union, welcoming the reported termination of the power
distribution and maintenance contract to the Siemens, has demanded immediate
steps be check the latter’s interference in the KESC matters.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, the union also called for a thorough probe
into the affairs relating to the contracting firm to ascertain what else the
wrong it had done to the KESC. A complete and clear picture should emerge to
show how much damage and losses the Siemens had caused to the power utility.
The union claimed that a computer software which had been introduced by the
Siemens in the KESC was still being handled by the contractor, adding that the
KESC’s computer system had been blocked which, according to the union, could be
owing to the firm’s interference.
The union said the firm’s poor performance had caused great hardship to citizens
for which it should be held accountable.
