Partly Facetious: Isn't Karachi mayor without powers?

"Karachi mayor has been taken ill and his party's leader cited overwork as the reason."
Published February 9, 2017

"Karachi mayor has been taken ill and his party's leader cited overwork as the reason."
"I have a few questions. First, I heard that his ECG came out OK and..."
"What are you a Nawala?"
"Nawala, as in a wee bite?"
"Hey, there is no wee, or extra small, bite where our politicians are concerned."
"Back off will you. Zahid Hamid, the man who has the distinction of serving under two sworn enemies - I mean Musharraf and Nawaz Sharif, not a usual occurrence, will legislate..."
"Hey, ZH is not alone you know - there are others. OK, there are some who Mian sahib hasn't forgiven, Mushahid Hussain please stand up, if you still can....but their number is limited to those who were members of Mian sahib's Nawala team and then became Musharrafites..."
"Forgiveness is a selective process for Mian sahib."
"For us all, we tend to forgive our family members but not others..."
"Don't be facetious; anyway, I know you are a Nawala and all roads lead to Mian sahib as far as you are concerned but let me inform you that heart problems are not the only outcome of hard work... I mean there are so many other diseases linked to over work......"
"Hmmm, one question: isn't the Karachi mayor without powers, something he complains about daily, and without any finances, another of his daily complaints?"
"Yes, but that doesn't stop him from visiting many areas of Karachi and getting television footage of his visits..."
"But he can't get anything done right?"
"Right."
"I hereby move that the Karachi Mayor be elevated to the post of a federal minister..."
"Don't be facetious - Zahid Hamid will tighten the defamation laws as he has the electoral laws..."
"Ha ha when he was asked whether a Caretaker would be given another appointment he said that wasn't in the law."
"Indeed and so cricket as we know it now - a game where our team constantly loses and badly - would continue?"
"I guess."
