Serious allegations raised in the Senate Finance Committee have once again put the Engineering Development Board (EDB) and the Ministry of Industries under intense scrutiny.
Senator Faisal Vawda reportedly claimed that a powerful nexus within the system has facilitated benefits worth nearly Rs 100 billion to a specific cartel, causing significant alleged revenue losses to the national exchequer. He further demanded immediate action, including arrests and accountability of those responsible.
The senator’s remarks, made in the presence of the Finance Minister, FBR Chairman, and other committee members, also included sharp criticism of economic decision-making and regulatory oversight.
If these claims are accurate, they point to a deeper structural issue—where policy, regulation, and influence collide at the expense of public money. Such serious accusations cannot be brushed aside with political rhetoric; they require transparent, independent, and immediate investigation.
Pakistan’s economic crisis cannot be addressed if accountability remains selective.
