As in her previous stint, this time also Benazir Bhutto was accused
of irregularities in award of quota for 190 tons of Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG) involving a daily profit of Rs 16,72,000 or Rs
582 million per annum to four favorites. According to an article in
The Friday Times, Senator Gulzar who was given quota of 30 tons
per annum in 1988-90 was awarded a quota of 50 tons yielding him
of an income of Rs 4,40,000 per day or Rs 160 crore (1600 million)
per annum. LPG which was to become available in September
1997 (350 tons) and September 1998 (35 tons) was allocated to
him in anticipation.
One single firm ARY Trading was given monopoly for import of
gold. Hussain Lawai, President Muslim Commercial Bank who was
allegedly involved in the deal had to tender his resignation from the
Bank, was arrested by FIA, allowed to leave Pakistan and is now
living with owner of ARY Trading in Dubai.
Two Swiss firms were given the contract for pre-shipment
inspection of imports for which they were paid Rs 5 billion per
annum. It was because of the commission paid by these companies
that Bhutto family accounts in Switzerland were seized.
Of all charges against Benazir, only one case relating to commission and
cutbasks in award of gold monopoly to ARY Traders has been registered against
Benazir Bhutto so far.
