KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) announced the names of mayor and deputy mayor of Karachi, TheNewsTribe.com reported.
Waseem Akhter named mayor and Dr Arshad Wohra named deputy mayor of Karachi.
Earlier, speaking to media at party headquarters, MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi said the country’s largest city, Karachi, has been given an almost ‘handicapped’ local bodies system, rendering the mayor of a mega city ‘powerless’.
He was of the view that the Sindh Local Government Act 2013 leaves Karachi’s mayor so weak that he cannot even order a cleanliness drive in the city.
“The city mayor will have to wait for a minister for the local bodies’ approval to issue salaries to his subordinates,” said the MQM leader.
