KARACHI: A few days after getting a clean chit from the Sindh governor in a workplace harassment case, K-Electric (KE) Chief Executive Officer Moonis Alvi on Friday stepped down from his position.
The announcement was made by the company in a disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Friday.
Later, Mr Alvi also confirmed it on social media.
A KE source told Dawn that the utility’s board of directors has accepted Mr Alvi’s resignation and a new CEO will be appointed soon.
In a post on X, Mr Alvi states: “It has been an honour to serve an institution so central to Karachi’s life, alongside some of the most resilient and committed professionals I know.”
He added that he will “support a smooth transition”.
In July last year, the provincial ombudsman for protection against harassment of women ordered the removal of Alvi for harassing a former chief marketing and communication officer of KE and also directed him to pay Rs2.5 million to the complainant in compensation.
Alvi, however, had denied the charges and challenged the decision of the ombudsman before the Sindh High Court and later before the governor who is the appellate authority of the ombudsman.
Alvi had also filed a representation / appeal before Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori. On February 3, the governor set aside the order of the provincial ombudsman.
Mr Alvi has remained associated with the KE since 2008. He became its CEO in 2018.
