With the coming of the new government, it is hoped that the ways would change for the better
TURBAT: Pakistan has been blessed with natural resources in abundance, natural resources that other countries often import for hefty monetary transactions. Unfortunately, we have mismanaged these resources through corruption, lack of rule of law, terrorism and other social problems that continue to plague our society.
With the coming of the new government, it is hoped that the ways would change for the better, and the resources will be utilised to uplift the lives of those living below the poverty line. Tenders from international firms shall be opened on the basis of who brings the maximum benefit to the common people and not who fills the pockets of the authorities.
