ISLAMABAD:
Of the chief ministers of three smaller provinces whose asset details for 2011-12 were made public on Tuesday, Amir Haider Khan Hoti of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the ‘poorest’ while his counterpart from Balochistan is the ‘richest.’
K-P chief
Hoti, who comes from a family of ‘nawabs,’ posses few assets in his own name – the few that he did mention in the annual statement submitted to the election commission for last year, are in the name of his spouse. The K-P chief minister had declared that he has Rs300,000 cash-in-hand while his three bank accounts had Rs3,000, Rs2,000 and Rs2,000 in balance respectively. Furniture and articles under his personal use are valued at Rs300,000 while he, nor his wife, own any car for their personal use.
He declared that his wife owns 148 kanals of land in Mardan valued at Rs10.9 million, a 24% share in a business in Dubai valued at Rs3.3 million, shares in two CNG businesses in Pakistan valued at Rs6.4 and Rs5 million each, and 20 tolas of jewellery.
Sindh chief
Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah declared various properties in his name, but declared total worth of his assets, including all properties, at Rs15.25 million.
The Sindh chief does not own any car in his name but his daughter owns a Honda city valued at Rs1.5 million. He owns jewellery worth Rs200,000 while he has Rs2.6 million cash-in-hand.
He has a total of Rs13.6 million balance in four bank accounts and is using furniture and other items of personal use worth Rs550,000.
Balochistan chief
Nawab Aslam Khan Raisani declared that the total worth of his assets was Rs227.79 million.
He owns a mining company worth Rs6.5 million, a security company worth Rs10 million, two Land Cruisers valued at Rs1 and Rs3.2 million, a Hummer H2 gifted by a friend from UAE valued at Rs18 million, and a 2010 Harley Davidson motorcycle worth Rs3.2 million. His spouse owns gold weighing 120 grams while he has around Rs11 million in bank accounts and cash-in-hand.

Someone should offer to buy their assets at 15% premium versus the declared value. Should be a good deal for them. I would have but unfortunately I actually have only 1.2 million in cash with me :(

Our Poor CMs!!! May be we should give Zakat and Sadaqas to them.

I offer all the CMs to buy all their belongings at twice the declared price and make these poor people rich! Would they go for it????

Punjab CM is a poor trillionaire. Did not even bother to declare anything.
Recommend
Four years of “easyload” and the KP Chief minister has such low assets. He needs to switch over to some other network.
Recommend
I would love to buy the Land Cruisers from the Balochistan CM. I would an additional 500,000 rupees on each of them, and still get away with a steal.
Recommend
”The Express Tribune”, Please let us know about Punjab’s chief minister too.

These CMs should be ashamed of themselves!

//Hoti, who comes from a family of ‘nawabs,’ posses few assets in his own name//
A little correction needed. He is not from the family of Nawabs. Although he is a Hoti but not all the Hoti’s are Nawabs. Among the Nawab family are Khawaja Muhammad Khan Hoti (Now in PTI), Akbar Khan Hoti (current IGP of KP) etc

……………………..then who is responsible for deprivations, misery, poverty, exploitation, ignorance and pessimism in Baluchistan???????????
Recommend
Baluchistan CM may be hiding things but still he has declared something we can believe to a certain level. Punjab CM is definitely the poorest of all, i think he lives in a rented house own by his brother who himself is now relying on his kids money and does not have anything in his own name.
Recommend
To know how rich our leaders are it is necessary to see how poor our people are.
Recommend
KP Chief Minister has less in bank accounts than my Pathan driver! Also,
none of these guys then apparently have any foreign properties/bank accounts as well. Serious contenders to Imran Khan’s claim of having all assets in Pakistan.
Recommend
Atleast they declared their assets . If they do , loosers will obejct , if they donot again you have objection on that .BTW when will Imran declare how he befitted with the prized “plots” in Punjab and how come his trivia “raffle” winning money could buy a luxurious villa in Islamabad ?????
Recommend
Chief minister of Baluchistan is the honest person listing out every thing he owns. Well done
Recommend
They should be given some relief from Benzair Income Support Programme, it does not seems good that leaders are without wealth and cars :P
Recommend
hoti declared himself the poorest among the chief ministerz if thts the case thn where is the money of EASY LOAD…???
Recommend
Everybody looting with both hands
Recommend
All corrupt pathetic rulers, at the behest of that Busharraf. Ask Hoti the G Wagon that he drives (G55 AMG), is it his or borrowed from national treasure??? Fake looters & plunderers…they should all be hanged to death
Recommend
i dont think such news should take place of HEAD LINES……we all know about our great rulers.
Recommend
Hahaha Epic: Honda City valued at Rs1.5 Million and Land Cruiser valued at Rs1 Million! Just how stupid do they think we are? Poor KP chief only Rs.2000 in Banks. I feel so bad for him that I want to transfer some funds into his accounts as well! Trinube should have published this news in the Comedy section! #Hilarious
