Karachi Rains and KESC

Cowardice is an indictable offence in the military – and can if proven can have terminal consequences. Perhaps sadly, a charge of cowardice cannot be levelled at those bodies and institutions that fail to live up to their public duty, or to satisfactorily give an account of themselves and their shortcomings in the court of public opinion. Were it possible to bring such a charge the Karachi Electrical Subtraction Company (KESC) would stand before us in the dock today – if, that is, anyone representative of it could be found who could actually be placed in the dock to hear the charges. At the time of writing on Monday afternoon there has been no statement from this cowardly and ostrich-like organisation which once again has failed millions of customers, brought the largest city in the land to its knees yet again and would apparently be unable to successfully give away free tickets to a test match played in the city it is supposed to supply power to.
