Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah proposed a new change in its cabinet, appointing Murtaza Wahab the new administrator of Karachi.
According to the details, the move has been approved by Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) top leadership while the decision is not welcomed by many of the cabinet members.
“Some members of the Murad Ali Shah cabinet had opposed the idea of Murtaza Wahab’s appointment,” sources said.
However, the notification has not yet been issued for this effect. According to the sources, it will be issued after the CM’s return from the US next week.
Murtaza Wahab is currently serving as the leader and Advisor to Chief Minister Sindh on Law and Environment, also a senior member of the provincial cabinet. He lost in the general election of 2018 against PTI candidate.
So far, the PPP has not responded to rumours of Wahab’s appointment. The incumbent City Administrator Laeeq Ahmed was appointed in December 2020.
