The cure

It takes no rocket science to evaluate storage requirements vis-à-vis petrol, provided those in the Ministry of Petroleum and Ogra have time for these most basic of tasks. Defaults on payments by state institutions and business houses to PSO are a failure of governance for with Nawaz Sharif is solely responsible because it is he who selected these wizards and gave them responsibilities for they are incapable of.
Regulatory control is one of most vital constitutional function of any government. Unfortunately, regulation and public interest are bound to be a casualty if those appointed to regulate are nominees of businessmen for whom profit alone is the sole objective. No government has done anything for the general public. The net result is the collapse of state institutions. Fate and destiny cannot be blamed when greed for power and money play a dominant role in policymaking. Terrorism is our own self-inflicted cancer just like all other ills in this country. The solution lies in establishing the writ of the constitution.
