Mr Shaukat Tarin has taken over as Advisor to PM on Finance at a time when the world is in the midst of a serious economic crisis and Pakistan's economy is in ruins. Years of poor governance, no accountability for loan defaults by design and rampant corruption has eaten away the little that we had.
Pakistan's meagre resources have been misused for too long a period to provide subsidised housing, real estate and perks to its paid civil and military servants, while provisions of subsidised health, and education to the deprived sections of our society has been neglected.
I am sure that Mr Tarin, a man known for his aggressive and bold decisions, will guide this nation through difficult times. He is different from bankers like Shaukat Aziz and many from the IMF and World Bank etc, because he has his roots in this country.
His own investments are within Pakistan and as such he has a stake in the revival of our economy. As a loyal Pakistani, I wish him well and pray for his success. May Pakistan prosper and become a truly welfare state that the Quaid and our founding fathers desired, where all citizens enjoy equal rights and employment is given on merit.
