It always makes for good PR when the Sindh government announces that it is giving KMC moneyâexcept for the fact that it is one major reason why KMC is poor in the first place. On Thursday, the chief minister said the Sindh government was giving KMC a Rs170 million grant so it could play its senior employees who have been waiting for their salaries since November. KMC cannot afford to pay its salaries because it doesnât make enough money. That is because the Sindh government has changed the laws 20 times at least, since 2010, to strip KMC of its ability to earn, charge fees and taxes.
