Election Commission makes announcement giving details of the caretaker prime minister’s assets
KARACHI: This refers to my letter dated 10th June 2018, requesting the interim prime minister, Nasirul Mulk, to refund money from his own pocket for a private weekend visit to Swat, undertaken at the taxpayers’ expense. The people of Pakistan cannot hide their jubilation over the heartening announcement of the Election Commission, giving details of the caretaker prime minister’s assets. Nasirul Mulk has property worth 27,2000 pounds in the UK, plus property worth $700,000 in Singapore, in addition to 3 plots in Islamabad, 45 shops in Swat and some 100 million rupees in petty cash.
The ECP’s announcement of the caretaker prime minister’s meticulously declared assets gives us great hope and optimism. I look forward to him setting up a rare and high moral tradition that will define the difference between government funds and private vacations for a long time to come.
