Our vote has to count!

[Mosharraf Zaidi 🇵🇰 @mosharrafzaidi]

Please stop treating “independents” elected under the PTI banner as MNAs that can be squeezed or cajoled into voting one way or the other.

These MNAs have been elected:

WITHOUT rent seekers’ money 💰
WITHOUT “electables” 🚿
WITHOUT princely jets ✈️
WITHOUT sector commanders 🔫

PTI voters learnt the symbols of their candidates, endured enormous pressures and came out in large numbers.

They WILL NOT allow thier elected reps to so easily bargain their votes in the National Assembly.

Nawaz Sharif says his party wins most seats in Pakistan election, but independents linked to Imran Khan lead as counting continues https://t.co/8XeOHlWdnz

@rogueonomist @steve_hanke In Q2 FY23, Pakistan’s servicing of external debt was almost USD 6.8b; although quarter 1 number was much lower

@mosharrafzaidi Tax on bank deposits is the most insane thing I’ve heard.. meanwhile no measures on meaningfully enhancing the tax base!

@AmberRShamsi @sabahbanomalik Let’s talk about this! We have to meet up!

[maq @SobiaMaq]

@rogueonomist I don’t think this would be the biggest bottleneck for foreign tourists! I can list several other impediments!!

[maq @SobiaMaq]

@Leena_Ghani But we are just concerned that if the men leave; what would happen? Although I do wish that would happen

[Michael Kugelman @MichaelKugelman]

At COP27, negotiators, led by Pakistan as chair of G77, produced an accord to set up a fund for loss and damage-remarkable given how controversial the issue is and it had never been on a formal agenda at a COP summit until this year.
Big foreign policy achievement for Islamabad.

@Huk06 Unfortunately, digital transactions entail a fee whereas depositing cheque in a branch that has a huge infrastructure cost is free!

@BasharatIssa You should have seen the amount of security outside the stadium!!

@mosharrafzaidi He’s the same guy who once told the rating agencies that our numbers are fudged!! we have such clowns!!!! It’s truly in the hands of Allah only!

[maq @SobiaMaq]

@bushramaahnoor You’re doing a great job!

[maq @SobiaMaq]

nope!! It’s a public sector program; the insurance provider is a public sector company.. one arm of govt is subsidizing another one of its own.. if anything, the pricing should be better for long term sustainability!

[Nida Kirmani @NidaKirmani]

So let me get this straight, the sehat card scheme basically uses public funds to subsidise private healthcare thus further depleting the public health sector? And they are claiming this is a good thing because???

[maq @SobiaMaq]

@rogueonomist Also, default by a country is a very different thing versus default by a corporate; countries can’t file for bankruptcy and wrap up and disappear! People seldom understand that

[maq @SobiaMaq]

@jehan_ara Any bank will do it but unfortunately it would require a call to the President? Without that, banks don’t even do what they should do
