    Question for the Federal Ombudsman (Part 2):-
    By June 24 2024, there was no progress in the #Hayatabad Police investigation of the May 24 2024 meter disappearance (despite repeated inquiries from all affectees)...& at 1330 hours local time, the victims' publicly located power line disappeared! PITC was helpless again...but this time, the Police claimed helplessness, too...& so said consumers were deprived of the right to stay in their own home!

    Question for the Federal Ombudsman (Part 1):-
    How doesn't the Ombudsman know of the following case filed with the #Hayatabad #Peshawar Police:--
    On May 24 2024, a #PESCO meter disappeared from its public location (despite no bill arrears), #PITC was helpless, #PESCO advised the victim consumer to file a police report, said consumer implemented, the Police instructed #PESCO to provide a direct supply until investigation completion, & #PESCO did...

    The meeting between the #Pakistan Prime Minister, #Pakistan Inter-Provincial Coordination Minister & #KhyberPakhtunkhwa Governor, poses a question (to Minister R. Sanaullah, the only participant with legal expertise):-
    "The Writ Of The State" regards the sanctity of human rights; how may power supply be a crime...unless Mr. Kundi accused Mr. Gandapur, of shielding the #PESCO Board & C-suite from being compelled to admit bankruptcy / culpability?

    #Karkhano Market (#Peshawar) is overflowing with relatively-cheap #British & #German merchandise; but despite the abundance of cheapness, local buyers are unimpressed; luckily, hunting/travel gear, kitchenware/crockery, etc. don't rot in blackout-ridden heat...but who can hike or cook much, with sky-high #IMF food prices?
    How sad that, despite the poor economic conditions in the #UK & #Germany, #Paris was beaten out by (already-battered) #London?

    Notwithstanding #DevelopedWorld distaste for linking "rich" problems with "poor" problems, since last year, #Peshawar #YouTubers have been posting repeated invitations to viewers to buy #Japanese, #Korean & #Chinese goods ranging from gadgets to garments in #Karkhano...but, given that the same goods are listed in every new vlog, could said brands encourage sales by being a little more committed to nullifying #IMF inflation-promotion in #Pakistan?

    Is there sufficient evidence to conclude, that major economic problems, from #China to the #US, are directly or indirectly, due to #IMF "assistance":-
    -Is #Islamabad's flawed #FinanceBill2024, the #FBR response to #IMF demands for an exponential increase in annual #Pakistani taxation revenues?
    -Is the crash in #European & #Japanese stocks, a consequence of #IMF taxes in #Pakistan?
    -Is the #IMF behind the latest rash of Too-Big-To-Fail businesses?

    2 legal/fiscal questions for the #FBR Chairman:-
    -May Chairman Tiwana's hasty ultimatum to #Pakistani traders to switch to cashless transactions, have put undue pressure on #NADRA's cashless transaction project?
    -In view of the flawed #FinanceBill2024, failed #TajirDostScheme, unreliable tax collection from foreign firms, etc., is it time to replace #McKinsey...or scrap foreign contractors in favor of (genuinely-competent) #Pakistani consultants?

    #CarlyleGroup has suddenly run up against business issues:-
    -It is in a sudden frenzy to sell #Cogentrix (a #NorthCarolina power company which has not - yet - been named in the investigation into the May 2024 #Carthage home invasion & self defense case, regarding a #USArmy Officer & the supposed power company worker/trespasser).
    -Its gas-fired power plants (e.g. #PESCO?) are - unofficially - going bankrupt.
    But #Elliott is "overplaying its hand"?

    #Microtech was founded by #US veteran Mr. Tony Jimenez in #Virginia (#US) in 2004. Before this, Mr. Jimenez spent ~25 years serving in the #USArmy. Within a short while, #Microtech had officially established overseas contracts, e.g. in #Pakistan...but there is a discrepancy:-
    -If #Microtech was established in the #US in 2004, how might its #Pakistani website claim to be doing business in #Pakistan since 1997?
    -Whom to ask - #Virginia or #Karachi?

    10 years ago, #Peshawar Electric Supply Co (#PESCO) & #Multan Electric Power Co (#MEPCO), under #USAID supervision, signed a contract with #Microtech, for a mass "smart meter" rollout. While #MEPCO reportedly made some progress, #PESCO has crashed:-
    -#PESCO is legally bankrupt
    -Hostile forces are seemingly conspiring with #PESCO executive/junior employees to launch murderous attacks against servicemen/veterans
    Any comment from #US Envoy D. Blome?

    This news story poses 3 questions:-
    -Is the #Pakistan PM's demand for a "whole-of-government approach" to addressing national security threats, a legal oxymoron?
    -Guerrilla warfare is based on surprise & speed; may the PM's (time-consuming & legally-vague) "approach" empower the enemies of servicemen/veterans?
    -Why scrap the legal method of an Army-led investigation, where all other departments are obligated to extend full cooperation to the GHQ?

    The murder of 5 #Pakistan Army soldiers in #Kurram, adds an edge of urgency to the need to cleanse the corruption in the #Peshawar Electric Supply Co (#PESCO), given that the cheapest & easiest source of power for an #IED, is a nearby power line; before #PESCO's financial woes can be legally resolved, it is of the utmost importance that Armed Forces investigators scrutinize #PESCO employees/contractors to identify any mole(s) behind such attacks.

    When faced by a loss-making firm, the solution is never to take revenge on the customers, but to replace troublemaking executives & board members.
    Given #Peshawar Electric Supply Co (#PESCO) issues, take the case of #US power company #NRG; the Board & CEO became obsessed with "smart gadgets" & #NRG was losing cash, until #ElliotInvestmentManagement replaced the CEO & some Board members, proving #NRG's issues were never the fault of its consumers!

    According to rumor, the #Peshawar Electric Supply Co (#PESCO) operates its business as a joint venture that makes #SaifPower (a subsidiary of the disgraced #SaifGroup) the de facto "owner" of all #PESCO power distribution contracts. In view of #PESCO's own admission that it is only receiving 40% of projected revenues, is it time to replace #SaifEnergy with, for instance, #AlternEnergy (a subsidiary of the highly-successful #DesconEngineeringLtd)?

    This analysis of #Peshawar Electric Supply Co (#PESCO) problems, poses 2 questions:-
    -"#PESCO only gets paid for 40% of the power it supplies"
    If #PESCO faces corporate insolvency, is it obligated to declare bankruptcy, thus making way for another firm to settle investor & consumer debts? Can any investor &/or consumer sue #PESCO for damages?
    -"#PESCO imposes blackouts to penalize theft"
    Can a utility company assume judicial &/or punitive powers?

    Given the burgeoning fiscal problems plaguing the global economy (most of which are the direct result of excessive governmental & intergovernmental "supervision"), how may #Hollywood executives logically argue that a musical about the #WickedWitchOfTheWest & footage of Jaafar Jackson trying hopelessly to dance like #MichaelJackson (starting when the poor dear is about to hit his 30s), constitute a viable international revenue-generation strategy?

    #Intel shares are down ~5% & #GenDigital shares are down ~3% during the last month, & still fallling. #Intel owns #McAfee & #GenDigital owns #Norton.
    #McAfee & #Norton are the leading names in the cybersecurity sector; thus, is it reasonable to assume that the #NYSE computer glitch (for several hours on June 3 2024) is the reason for the #Intel & #GenDigital crash, as well as #Washington's sudden war with #McAfee & #Norton competitor, #Kaspersky?

    Given the #FIA's sudden obsession with #Peshawar over the rest of #Pakistan, chasing human / narcotics / spurious drug traffickers, financial fraudsters, etc. (N.B. It remains to be seen whether #FIA indictments hold up in court); & the unresolved #FIA HQ (#Islamabad) robbery that occurred ~48 hours before the #NYSE glitch:-

    While KP CM Gandapur's latest move indicates admiration for MPA Fazal Elahi, said move raises several contradictions:-
    -May the CM's loadshedding schedule prove he fired the #PESCO CEO?
    -May the CM's orders not to harm "#WAPDA assets", mesh with PESCO's claim that the new loadshedding schedule will damage power transformers?
    -May Police Chief Gandapur legally obey CM Gandapur's ban on PESCO-filed FIRs?
    -Where is the #IEA, #FATF, #INTERPOL, etc.?

    The "Big 3" credit rating agencies - #Moody's, #SP & #Fitch - are considered more culpable than #JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon for the #FinancialCrisis2008, because, while Mr. Dimon seemingly loves concealing #WallStreet &/or #Washington financial blunders, the Big 3 convinced the #American public to invest in shady financial instruments.

    -Given the admission by the #Pakistan #FBR that it has authored an error-ridden #FinanceBill2024 (which means that the Budget is legally-inadmissible, as it is based on the #FB2024)...how has the #FATF not commenced an investigation into seeming #FitchRatings corruption for endorsing &/or standing guarantor for said Federal Budget?
    -How may this seeming lapse by the #FATF compromise its evidence in other international cases under its supervision?

    While the #FederalReserve is "optimistic about inflation", global traders have 1 question for #Washington:-
    Given the stock placed in "occult" patterns, by shrewd merchants like #Rockefeller friend #JPMorgan & #Rockefeller foe #ThomasLawson, is it mere chance that every firm that profited from the posthumous falsification of #MichaelJackson's will, is in dire financial straits, e.g. #YucaipaCompanies, #ColonyCapital, #Lionsgate, #Universal, etc.?

    Given the number of loopholes in #JoeBiden's spouse policy, what are the odds that it will hold water:-
    -How may non-#Americans prove residency duration, if he/she didn't do a job, or if an employer refuses to verify said job?
    -How may non-#Americans formalize marital ties: does the #US recognize verbal vows?
    -If a non-#American's #American spouse is deceased & the former doesn't want citizenship: will #Washington honor property ownership rights?

    -Why do relevant #IGOs, e.g #IMF, & competent courts, e.g. #ICJ (who claim to be impressed by #AI) persist in endorsing power/gas meters, versus the telecom billing model, which features in-built device software to let consumers monitor consumption estimates?

    Even stranger, other than some feeble press statements, the #FPCCI & #PTBA appear confused over their missions to defend human rights &/or equitable national trade; is this due to lack of relevant skills...or did the #FPCCI & #PTBA also dislike the suspended #FBR officials?
