WHEERE STAND CJP OR OMBUDSMAN
In the time when Shahbaz Sharif is raising rhetoric, empty as ever, for austerity in all aspects including rightsizing, his FBR intended to purchase a lot of new cars. If one goes to the statement of the Chairman FBR it would appear as if only due to non availability of these 1000 new cars, till today FBR hardly could meet targets nor could “find” or chase big tax defaulters. Dr. Mehboob ul Haq late 1980s in his attempt to enhance tax collection, appealed the general public to provide information about tax evaders. FBR immediately announced without any honest intent to make public a directory of 1000 top tax defaulters within next few days. This old is listening such loud slogans since his young age but that 1000 directory never could see light of the day, which now in this old age I learn perhaps due to non availability of these 1000 new cars could not take birth. One car for one big defaulter!!!
2. It was the tenure of Mr. Justice ® Sardar Muhammad Iqbal, first Federal Ombudsman so far remaining unmatched for when on a complaint from a trader, he cancelled the Tender invited for installation of air conditioners in a Government Office. The complainant’s plea was that the Tender invited a specific given name trade brand which practically was a favour to one specific favourite pre-selected supplier for which purchase decision had already been made and the tender was just a fooling formality. The then Ombudsman who had real writ, ordered that in future no Government Tender would mention brand name of the product to be purchased but only general specifications enabling everyone to participate. And this Order was obeyed for years by the Ministries, Departments what those time the Federal Ombudsman was.
3. Senator Faisal Wada last month in a talk show disclosed that FBR was intending to purchase only two Brands of cars leaving a dozen others he named. In another talk show, reference to which this old can’t recall now, it was mentioned that this purchase was from a specific elite and Saleem Mandwiwala said to Faisal Wada that the matter was above him and he could do nothing to stop it.
4. Today the high expense ombudsman system of this unfortunate nation can’t see back violations of its own standard decisions universally known as “precedents”.
Regards.
