The Power Division has issued a clarification about a recent audit report that some media outlets have referenced. The division stated that the report relates to the fiscal year 2023-24 and does not concern the current government’s term.
According to a spokesperson from the Power Division, the audit report is over a year old and should not be used to judge the present administration’s actions. The report is an initial document, and more detailed evidence will be submitted soon for review.
The Power Division emphasized that the government was already aware of major problems in the energy sector before this report was released. Overbilling and incorrect meter readings have been ongoing issues for years and remain the biggest challenges in the sector.
Federal Minister for Power, Awais Leghari, has repeatedly highlighted these concerns. He has led significant reforms to address overbilling and improve the overall efficiency of the power sector. The Power Division confirmed that historic steps have been taken to tackle these issues.
The Power Division also stressed its commitment to transparency and accountability. It aims to continue reforming the energy sector to provide better service and reliability to consumers. The audit report will be carefully examined in multiple forums to ensure a comprehensive understanding.
The division reiterated that while the audit report points out serious problems, the current government is actively working on solutions. The Power Division’s ongoing reforms seek to reduce losses and improve the energy sector’s financial health.
Overall, the Power Division is focused on making the power sector more efficient and consumer-friendly. It calls for patience as reforms continue and promises further updates once the audit review process is complete.
This clarification helps set the record straight and underlines the government’s efforts in resolving long-standing energy issues through the Power Division’s initiatives.
