Power spending

KARACHI: Some time ago I happened to be watching the AXN channel and was shocked to see that KESC was sponsoring a programme on it. Exactly what business does KESC have in sponsoring a programme on AXN – or any channel for that matter – is anybody's guess.

And this is not so because there is any law barring it from doing so but because KESC is more or less a bankrupt organisation. It is sad that KESC cannot even provide a continuous supply of electricity to its customers but somehow finds the money to sponsor a programme on a foreign channel. It would be far better if KESC were to use the money that it spends on this advertisement on improving its own distribution network.
