Now about the drainage of public funds through graft? Two officials or stooges of previous government of Zardari, Sadiq and Gondal , Chairman of OGDC and OBEI, took away amount equal to this total subsidy. So why not make those who tucked billions of dollars not Rupees in Swiss banks, to bring those looted funds back before people decide to lynch them.

Such numbers should be in Table form it is easy to understand.

Mr.Nawaz Sharif what is the difference between your government and the last one? You seem to cross all the boundaries. You seem to hit the last nail on the coffin of purchasing power of this nation. We want honesty, transparency and good governance from your government. You have not taken strict austerity measures, nor have you seen plugging the holes present in our tax collection machinery. People have pinned hopes from your government and you seem to be an utter failure. Remove the leeches not be the one which have sucked all the blood of poor and weak of this country. We are no more able to pay the taxes. Good governance is the only way to protect the financial melt down of this country.

SINDH GOVT JAGO , KHYBER PKHTUNWA GOVT WILL NOT BE CHARED ELECTIRICITY INCREASED RATES FROM 1ST OCT 2013 BUT FROM 1ST NOV. 2013

Please tell me how the poor, disabled or retired pensioners living on their own with negligible pension are going to survive this nonsense? Why did Nawaz Sharif borrow more from IMF, when he knew very well that there would be a significant impact on the most vulnerable people ? Unit consumption hardly ever shows as correct on the bill. The meter readers add units on top of what is used.. And even if the consumption is 150 odd units, here is an example of what will happen to the bill. Actual cost of electricity - 150 units x Rs 8.11 = Rs 1216.50 Meter rent - Rs 25 Surcharge - Rs 300 No one never knows the logic or has a say in what this is and why ? Extra surcharge - Rs 200 - as above Tax - Rs 150 - as if the above levies were not sufficient, what is this and why ? Total bill with all the extra hidden costs would come to Rs 2000+

No constitutional bill could be passed if it is controversial to the basic rights of the people even if designed,proposed or passed unanimously by the sitting parliament.How a subsidiary department,nepra have had the powers to constitute the rules of business equal to the state which are totally illicit and void in case of any circumstances as guaranteed in the constitution of Pakistan. The NGO questioned, if the nepra or the pemra or the pta would be making rules,regulations to run and manage the state affairs especially of serious concerns to the people of Pakistan what would be wrong if the people of Pakistan or a group or the party claims to make other rules or break the minting rules.The sitting government is not willing to hear the people despite it had confessed to abide by the rules of business that protect the dignity,sovereignty and the respect of the people. We must learn the lessons from the bad books of the politicians, the bureaucrats and the other ruling regimes that have perished the country and looted the country of trillions and brought the people to the footpath.We are not ashamed even now on the statistics of the World Bank and the UN which pose our more than 40% population going to the poverty lines, which will ultimately join the sex industry,the crime industry,the begging industry,the KK industry,the TT industry as an outcome of such tyrant policies of the government.The NGO demanded the government to consider the people and do away with anti people rules of business that have no room in the constitution.

Buggers are never the chooser.There are the courts to listen the people.We must go to the courts of law to get our constitutional rights, the only choice we have to fight back the evils.Should we not go to the courts of law, what the hell we deem to have.

Another achievement of Nawaz sharif and Arsalan Iftikhar partnership.

So instead of stopping theft & line losses common people are to pay the price.

Another step forward to overburden the already crushed peoples - well done and keep it up. Why should'nt the peoples of Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan seek stay order from their provincial high courts the way it is done in KPK

"For consumption beyond 700 units the rate will be Rs18/unit". Such consumers already have millions of rupees outstanding and no one has the power to disconnect their power. The burden is eventually shifted to the lower consumption segment and we are paying them in the form of exhorbitant bill amounts.

does it matters as towho increases the prices whether NEPRA,MINISTRY OF POWER,KH.ASIF,Dr.MUSSADIQ MALIK,ABID SHER ALI or even MNS it is only thde public which is crushed & do not remember the role model/hero of the govt Munshi a.k.a MID by Sh.Rasheed who is only following the orders of IMF.My request to all is to keep increasing the prices any way they want & do not disclose to the public as they are only dumb & waiting for a call to come on streets.

@Oz: If you think the meter reader is doing the wrong thing, use your mobile phone to take photos of the meter to verify.
