No Musharaf should step down. How can we allow a military man to do positive work for Pakistan, that should have been done by the so-called civilian democratic govt. :hehe:

No foreign investment made it to Karachi in ’07

KARACHI: The City District Government Karachi (CDGK), led by City Nazim Mustafa Kamal, set out to bring a lot of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the city for the year 2007, but like 2006, this year has passed without any of the development projects materializing.

During the last two years, the CDGK has signed millions of rupees worth of agreements with various foreign companies to invest in the city and construct things such as the IT Tower, the Elevated Expressway and desalination plant, but, not a single project has materialized to benefit the citizens.
