KARACHI: Chairman Pakistan Ships’ Agents Association (PSAA) Muhammed A. Rajpar said that it was imperative to privatize state-owned enterprises in order to boost economy of the country.
Talking to Customs Today at his office, Rajpar said that the present government should take effective measures in order to decrease external trade deficit.
Highlighting the performance of labour pool in Karachi Dock Labour Board (KDLB), Chairman PSAA said the employees are working only for 10 days in a month while they are getting wages for the whole month, adding that the authorities concerned should look into the matter on war footing basis, so millions of rupees of national exchequer could be saved.
On the occasion, Rajpar appreciated the Musharraf government for its focus on the National Trade Corridor Improvement Programme (NTCIP) and hoped that the present government must take appropriate steps in order to continue the said NTCIP project in an effective manner.
