Partly Facetious: The Buzz in Punjab

"You have to first empower someone before you figure out his/her performance."
Published September 24, 2019

"You have to first empower someone before you figure out his/her performance."
"Ha ha ha."
"What's so funny?"
"That doesn't apply to our country. Those empowered remain the same which is why the something rotten in the state of Pakistan is passed on from government to government."
"I presume you are referring to the twenty or so perennial federal ministers but there is one new face..."
"You must be referring to The Buzz, and need I add The Khan by allowing The Buzz to Kill the Gill strengthened The Buzz who has spread his wings and taken two momentous decisions...."
"Dengue is on the rise and you can't blame this on the thieves of yesteryears wanting an NRO."
"The Buzz was decisive and dismissed two DCs - one in Lahore and one in Rawalpindi."
"And how will their dismissal resolve the dengue crisis?"
"Perception you idiot perception; The Buzz has shown he is a strongman and can dismiss with impunity."
"I heard the number of dengue cases in Pakpattan..."
"Shhh. And The Buzz has performed two umras in less than a year..."
"At the expense of the Punjab taxpayers?"
"The first was at the federal taxpayers' expense, The Khan took him along, and the latest umra is in Punjab's interest because once The Buzz was empowered to hire and fire at will, he needed Allah's guidance and..."
"Don't be facetious."
"The Buzz's return flight from Umra landed at Lahore at 1:30 in the morning and he summoned his minions to the airport to brief him at that unearthly hour."
"But the footage shows that no one high up in the hierarchy showed up. I mean I didn't see any cabinet member..."
"Round two: wait for The Buzz's briefing to The Khan on his return."
