An article titled Echoes of empires by Mr. Kashif Mateen Ansari Chief Executive Officer Sachal Energy Development Pvt. Ltd. Published: Business Recorder, 30 October, 2024
To summarize, history has spoken: if authority is uncontrolled and institutions are designed to extract rather than serve, society will disintegrate and become disorderly. It is up to us to rise from the ashes. We must diversify the power structure; we must invest in serving the society from which we derive our resources and mandate; we must incorporate the principles of transparency, accessibility, and accountability into our institutions; and we must take seriously the now-largely theoretical task of ensuring that everyone’s rights and needs are met. Look at Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto if you have to; the lesson is there. The recent article of Mr. Kashif Mateen Ansari, Chief Executive Officer, Sachal Energy Development (Pvt.) Ltd.

An article titled Navigating the IMF’s Labyrinth: The Trials and Tribulations of Pakistan by Mr. Kashif Mateen Ansari Chief Executive Officer Sachal Energy Development Pvt. Ltd. Published: Business Recorder, 04 October, 2024
Pakistan's ongoing financial crises and highlights the limitations of relying solely on International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs for economic stability. Despite decades of collaboration, the country continues to face external debt and fiscal deficits, exacerbated by issues like tax evasion and inefficient public-sector enterprises. While IMF interventions may provide short-term relief, they often fail to address the root causes of economic instability, particularly governance and accountability.

We must not try to reinvent the wheel; learning from other countries that have handled such crises can be a good start for us. We must apply sensible judgment to adapt these lessons to our particular situation, but we must also follow best practices and avoid the mistakes others have committed.

Chief Executive OfficerSachal Energy Development Pvt. Ltd.Published: Business Recorder, 02 May, 2024
We need to think about the future of children and young people, do we want them to inherit a weak Pakistan that cannot sustain itself through economic activity? Do we want them to be at the mercy of our neighbours who are not very fond of us? do we want them to be begging for aid or fighting among themselves in a civil war? If we want them to avoid all these difficult scenarios, we need to educate them to become productive.To break free from the clutches of elite capture and transition towards a more equitable and just society, Pakistanis (please note it’s the people) must actively promote ethical leadership, enforce accountability mechanisms, and empower civil society to hold the elite class to task. Following a governance model that places the public good and democratic principles at its core is imperative for Pakistan’s progress.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Common sense is something that everyone needs, few have, and none think they lack.”
This is a great quotation that sums up our national dilemma. We face existential challenges on the economic front and are experiencing almost unsurmountable problems in the power and energy sectors. Many problems that we have created ourselves have outgrown to a size where handling them looks almost impossible.

"We have had world class economists like Dr Mehboob ul Haq working for us and writing plans for our economy. Then why we are where we are? Is it lack of plans or lack of implementation? I think it is lack of sincere implementation that is at the heart of our malaise, to put it mildly by borrowing JFK’s words, “This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.”"

Although economists have long held the view that investment in infrastructure helps in reducing poverty but now the game has changed a lot. Infrastructure projects help the capitalists more than the poor as most of the work traditionally done for these projects that was labour intensive is taken over by machines that are capital intensive. So, infrastructure development itself does not help the poor as much as it does the person with money.

During Bill Clinton’s campaign, “it’s the economy, stupid” was coined to emphasize how crucial the economy was to the election.
It could be argued that “it’s the transmission, stupid” accurately describes the difficulties the power sector is facing in Pakistan.
