Pak Govt run entities squandered Rs 200 bln last fiscal due to 'mismanagement' | Pakistan's annual audit report has revealed that almost
Rs 200 billion of taxpayers' money has apparently been squandered by the government,
through various irregularities and mismanagement in the top ten state-run enterprises
during the last fiscal year. The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA)
is at the top of the list, with a whopping Rs 180 billion worth of losses, reports
The Express Tribune. The report also showed irregularities worth Rs 5 billion
in Pakistan Steel Mills' accounts. Another public enterprise- Pakistan Agriculture
Storage and Services Corporation- has lost Rs 11.2 billion due to the procurement
and sale of substandard rice. The auditors also found irregularities worth Rs
91 million in the accounts of the National Insurance Company Limited (NICL). In
Trading Corporation Pakistan , irregularities worth Rs 2.4 billion were pointed
out. These losses were due to a shortage of sugar, irregular payments to transporters,
and a shortage of wheat. Wah Industries Limited also met with losses worth Rs1.4
billion. The Ministry of Defence also lost Rs 1.6 billion due to premature re-payment
of loans and other irregularities in various departments. Similarly, the Oil and
Gas Development Authority met losses of Rs 2.1 billion, stated the report. The
National Logistic Cell, meanwhile, is marred by financial irregularities worth
Rs 1.65 billion in various departments, stated the report. According to the report,
