And it’s a mystery what her portfolio is meant to accomplish. It’s another useless ministry, one of dozens, created as a reward to a party loyalist.
She’s hardly visible without any viable strategy for coping with climate change in the case of Pakistan. Enough of her and Pakistan’s penchant for lavish use of national exchequer and junkets abroad and at home— while floods were killing scores, PM and a gravy train a mile long, we’re partying abroad, ensconced in 5 star hotels and limos at their wives’ disposal for orgies of shopping. Such has been the the state of governance for some odd 70 years since Pakistan’s creation.
This is a rant of course.
Hair-raising videos of the apocalyptic flood abound on Utube.
Please watch a couple to see how the poor suffer in developing countries.
And we thought Katrina was horrific— it was of course. The scale of destruction and humanitarian crisis is enormous and more to come.
Anyways, since Umair thinks it’s sexy to have a glamorous Sherry Rahman as a (eyeroll) climate change minister, I had to set the record straight!
