The provincial government of Sindh has decided to acquire a fleet of high-end vehicles for hundreds of its officials, despite widespread poverty and unemployment plaguing the province.
According to details, the Sindh government plans to utilize current financial year funds to procure a fleet of vehicles for its officials.
It includes 1300 cc Toyota Yaris cars worth Rs. 4.9 million (per car) for urban areas’ Assistant Commissioners. Furthermore, Rs. 10 million worth (per car) of Toyota Hilux 4×4 Double Cabin Standard Edition will be purchased for officers working in rural areas.
In addition to this, Deputy Commissioners in the province’s 31 districts and 150 sub-divisions will be provided with even more expensive cars. Responding to a question regarding the purchase of these vehicles, the Provincial Minister for Development and Planning, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah stated that it was a necessary expenditure.
He added that “funds have already been allocated for it in the current financial year’s budget.” Nasir Shah stated that “cars are needed for official duties and the government is not wasting money on luxuries.”

Sindh government really needs to focus on energy crises instead pf doing these rubbish incentives
Ghareeb awam kay ameer Civil Servants….
High end cars for high performing Sindh officers.
Govt. should make legislation to buy local brand vehicles to avoid money going to outside companies (i.e. Toyota, Honda, Suzuki etc.). Local brand will cost less and this move will provide growth to local brands.
Further just my opinion, quality might improve since officials once feel any discomfort, will inform local brand company to upgrade their vehicles for better quality.
Above suggestions, might work or not but the fact is we are already burdened by loans and high inflation so this move or any other related move will help mitigating unnecessary expenditure (that too luxury one).
What was the reason govt put taxes on “luxury” phones again …?
Shameless pigs…
I thought beggars couldn’t be choosers….
Great news. I am glad to know this all. The size of our begging bowl will double in size now.
shame shame
haram khoor mafeya
That’s huge expense , support local industry and made in Pakistan initiative.
Anyways
Use , maintain, take care those like owners. Other wise most of them would be scrap in 3-5 yrs.
wastage of people’s tax money on useless bureaucrats.
Give them motorcycles to drive so they can connect with what average citizen go thru everyday.
Govt should make policy to deduct the price of vehicles from their salaries, by this way the vehicles will be cared by the assigned officials. And it will also deduct expenditure of Govt.
Blood shed is the only option
Considering the current economical condition and their performance, it is totally waste of public money. Rahm karo is mulk per jallado
