by Dr Ali Akbar Dhakan, Karachi, Sindh

Out of the total strength of high grade jobs in State Bank of Pakistan including Governor,two Deputy Governors, Advisers, consultants, Executive Directors and Directors, the representation of Sindh Rural is NIL.In all, the total number of these posts is more than l000 and the total number of the posts starting from joint Directors to lower staff would exceed ten thousand amongst whom the representation of Rural Sindh will not be more than one hundred through out Pakistan having about 20 offices of State Bank of Pakistan across the country. Now, to whom we may blame, the Government or the management of the SBP who are responsible for such a negligence in victimizing or robbing the people of Sindh.
