    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...

    #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?

    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?

    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 #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:-
    How did the #Pakistan PM try to shift jurisdiction over utility sector corruption cases, from the #ArmedForces to the #FIA?
