Is Zardari's completely original one-govt-job-per-family promise worth a vote?

Published

PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has vowed that he would give at least one government job to every family if he gets the power he so badly needs in the upcoming polls.

That's not it. The master politician promised a whole list of projects he would initiate, ranging from dams, healthcare and whatnot — all those good things basically that make the voter go weak in the knees.

We will also work on a project of generating electricity with sewage — Zardari

Brilliant stuff! I'm sold.

But for some reason, not everyone seems to trust Mr Zardari.

What about you?
