A famous bureaucrat and former finance secretary, Mohammad Younus Dagha, is likely to be appointed as the administrator of Karachi by the Sindh government, sources said on Friday. The Grade-22 government officer, Mohammad Younus Dagha, is expected to be made administrator of the port city as the local government is completing its tenure on August 28. Mohammad Younus Dagha possesses a strong portfolio of civil services since 1985 in varied fields including energy, finance, commerce, international trade and public administration. Dagha had also served as Secretary Water and Power in 2014. A provincial minister in Sindh, Saeed Ghani, has rejected the likely appointment of Mohammad Younus Dagha as the administrator. Ghani said in a statement that Dagha’s name was not considered for the KMC’s top position in any meeting of the Sindh government. On Wednesday, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has said that the administrator of Karachi will be appointed in accordance with the law after the local government institutions complete its tenure on August 28.
