Clarification

In the story, ‘Spendthrift rulers: Ministry of Finance finds itself short of Rs83.3 billion’ published on May 17 on page 10, the missing amount has been mistakenly attributed to the Auditor General of Pakistan: “According to sources, the office of the Auditor General of Pakistan is using the ‘missing’ money to send officials on trips abroad”.

The correct version should read that the Rs9.6 billion given by the World Bank for the PIFRA project are allegedly being misused for sending officials on foreign trips.

The error is regretted.
