KARACHI: Former Karachi Mayor Syed Mustafa Kamal has accepted Karachi Mayor Wasim Ahktar’s challenge to serve as ‘Project Director Garbage’.
According to a notification issued earlier Monday from the mayor’s office, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader had designated Kamal as the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) ‘Project Director Garbage’.
The notification reads, “In the light of the statement made and reported in electronic and Print Media that Syed Mustafa Kamal has Shown his willingness to Clean the City of Karachi within 90 days of time. I being Mayor of Karachi hereby designate Syed Mustafa Kamal as Project Director Garbage on Voluntary basis with immediate effect and until further order.”
The MQM-P, PSP, and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) – the ruling party in Sindh province – have been engaged in a heated war of words and blame each other over the administration’s general failure.
