June 24, 2022: A delegation of K-Electric led by Sheikh Abdulaziz Hamad Aljomaih called on Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday wherein the prime minister was apprised of the K-Electric’s longstanding resolvable issues relating to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA).

These issues not only cause huge financial losses to the K-Electric and the Government of Pakistan but also affect the supply of electricity to the consumers in Karachi at a cheaper tariff.

The prime minister, while regretting the severe negligence and lethargy, directed for constituting a committee of the relevant officials led by Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to find a solution of the issues, acceptable to all parties, within the next three months.

The meeting was attended by MNA Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, Advisor to the PM Ahad Cheema, Minister of State for Petroleum Dr Musadik Malik, Minister of State for Finance Dr Aisha Ghaus Pasha and senior officials concerned.
