The AEDB Story:Department and No Electricity

The AEDB StoryAir Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid was a well recognized face inside Pakistan’s elite circles. After all he managed to stay at the same post in the Pakistan Air Force for nearly two decades, defying every air force rule and regulation. He had turned Air Weapon’s Complex, under his leadership, into his personal enterprise. Other than girls and alcohol, he was famous for getting millions of dollars of funds from the government to build top secret equipment and weapons and then purchase a Chinese version for peanuts and inaugurate it as being developed at AWC after years of hard work and at the cost of millions of dollars. As all of the tenders, bids and projects were done in closed doors and without transparency, thus there was no one to raise any objection.Not to forget here, his incompetency was also quite famous. It was during his watch that AWC lost the famous “bomb”. Not Atom Bomb, as AWC does not deal with those. But it was a big bomb which was later found in FATA, after it had accidentally exploded during transport. He had to loyal sub-ordinates working at AWC. Brig. Nasim Akhtar Khan and a civilian engineer Irfan Afzal Mirza.When Air Chief Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir took over the command, he started a thorough investigation of Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid, his trusted team and AWC. According to the report of Military Intelligence, Raja Shahid Hamid had amassed at least US$ 20 million in foreign bank accounts and had shares in at least one hotel in Dubai. At the end of the investigation, Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid was given the choice of quietly resigning or… He chose to resign. Brig. Nasim Akhtar Khan was sent back to his unit in the Pakistan Army while Irfan Afzal Mirza was also kicked out. This happened in 2001.Although Shahid Hamid was out, but he still had contacts, and somehow managed to meet Shaukat Aziz. He somehow convinced Shaukat Aziz that using renewable energy, Pakistan would be able to meet its upcoming energy shortages and under his leadership, it can be achieved in less than five years. As a result in 2003 Alternative Energy Development Board was established with Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid as its Chairman, Brig. Nasim Akhtar Khan as its Secretary and Irfan Afzal Mirza as its Director General. It is also worthwhile to note here that Irfan Afzal was given an MP-II grade at the tender age of 30/31, breaking all the rules of Government of Pakistan. Irfan Mirza was not actually 30/31. He had changed his birth certificate to reduce his age by 4 to 5 years. However, in the official documents he was shown 31 at the time of employment.Shahid Hamid got a pay package of MP-I, nearly 5 lakh rupees per month and Irfan Mirza got nearly 2.5 lakh rupees package per month. A sweet deal to begin with.Some Other ProjectsIf the stated scenario is of one of the most propagated projects of AEDB, one doesn’t need a lot of imagination to understand what happened to rest of the 6 billion rupees projects. Some of this money which could be traced is listed below:Research and Development of Biodiesel Applications in Pakistan: The 1 crore rupees project was given to a local company Clean Power, owned by Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid’s wife and Irfan Afzal Mirza’s brother. At the end of the project a hundred page report was prepared which no one outside Clean Power and AEDB has seen.Fuel Cell Research Project: This was Rs. 50 lakh project which had to be given to a private company as AEDB wanted to purchase a fuel cell from a foreign company and under some regulations couldn’t do it directly. So the project was given to Clean Power, which used Rs. 4 lakh to purchase a fuel cell and give it to AEDB. Thus, AEDB spent 50 lakh rupees to buy a 4 lakh rupees machinery.100 Solar Homes projects in each province: The villages were electrified, but no one has ever seen the villages.Pilot Project of Production Plant of Biodiesel: The 2.14 caror rupees project was given to a company of a close “associate” of Brig. Nasim Akhtar Khan. The other companies were rejected because of “undisclosed” reasons, as explained by Brig. Nasim Akhtar in his official letter to one of the companies. He also explained that the elimination procedure was very high standard. However, he did not mention that all of the companies who were rejected in the first round had submitted Financial Feasibilities of less than one caror, while the company which won the bid had submitted a financial feasibility of rupees two caror. The project intended to provide electricity to a village using loacally grown biodiesel. However, at the end of the year the villagers were powering their village using diesel purchased from local petrol pump, and it was found out that during the inauguration, the biodiesel seeds were purchased from an international supplier just for the ceremony. Thus, on ground the only worthwhile expenditure was a Rs. 5 lakh generator from a Rs. 2 caror project.Solar Thermal Power Plants Technologies: This Rs. 4 caror project was carried out directly by the Brig. Nasim Akhtar Khan. Nobody knows who was given the contract to. However, the money was given to somebody.Solar Water Pumping & Desalination Unit: Of the 3.3 carors, only one desalination plant was purchased which was then stolen by an AEDB official.Development of an Electrical Vehicle: The project was meant to indigenously develop an electric vehicle. However, of the Rs. 3 million, half a million were spent to purchase an electric vehicle from oversees, and then it was repainted (literally) to make it look like “Made in Pakistan”. The vehicle can still be seen standing inside the Prime Minister House of Pakistan.Research on Development of 1 KW Fuel Cell Vehicle: The project was intended to develop indigenously the capabilities. However, the fuel cell purchased in the previous project was put in the electric vehicle purchased in another project. Thus, the 40 lakh rupees of this project went straight into the pocket of the bidder – may God Bless the Bidder who achieved the aim without spending a single paisa – truly a miracle which can only happen in Pakistan. What a country?Development of supply chain mechanism for pedal generator, hand generator and led lanterns: The project went to Clean Power, who bought a couple of cycles, connected them with fans and gave it to the AEDB. Thus, the government purchased two bicycles, as the cost of Rs. 15 lakh each.Feasibility for waste energy plants in ten (10) cities of Pakistan: No one alive is said to have seen the feasibility reports. That was enough incentive to stop our investigation for this project.The list just keeps on going, however, it is hoped this small overview would give a good look at what went on inside AEDB in its first four years.AEDB TodayAfter the current government takeover, Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid was one of the first persons to go. His number two had been called back to his army unit a few months back, after General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had taken command as COAS. The tenacious Irfan Afzal Mirza is still at AEDB working as Director General in the MP-II equivalent grade. After all, if you would give 60% of whatever you earn to your boss with no questions asked, of course your boss would fight tooth and nail to keep you working under him as well.Electricity StoryThe dreaded load-shedding continues.Also See:KESC Rewards Incompetence By Punishing KarachiPakistan’s Taxing DemocracyPehlwans – From Street Thugs to National Thugs – Story of Not So “Sharif” Brothers Don’t Fool Yourselves, Pakistan’s Judiciary As Screwed As Its Feudal Democracy Black Revolution 2007: Pakistan’s Lawyers Movement – Bush Administration’s Last Color RevolutionOperation Blue Tulsi: 15 Years in Planning, 10 Years in Preparation and Today in Execution To Pak Military: Empower The Middle Class To Save PakistanA Military-Civil Intervention To Save PakistanPakistan’s Battle Of The GenerationsPolitical Parties Destroying PakistanPakistan’s Fake Democracy, Rich DemocratsZardari-Gilani: No Money, Just IMFPakistan’s Founder Jinnah Has No Place In His HomelandPPPistan or Nawazistan or Altafistan or Pakistan?

Six Billion Rupees, Three Bureaucrats, One Government Department and No Electricity

Energy is the politics of today. What happens tomorrow is dictated by energy demand of today. Energy is the real blood pumping through the hearts of today’s economies. Just as a stoppage in the flow of blood would be fatal, a blockage in the flow of energy would devastate any economy.Movers and shakers of the world have realized that energy demands must be meant to keep the status-quo in status-quo. As a result associations and networks have established, over the last few decades, which not only keep the status-quo as status-quo but have learnt of devious ways to maximize their personal profits. These networks operate at all levels, international, national and regional. Here we are going to disclose the workings of such a network, which operated for a relatively short period – only four years – but left a terrible impact on the economy of Pakistan.The Alternative Energy Development BoardAlternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) was established in May 2003 with the main objective to facilitate, promote and encourage development of Renewable Energy in Pakistan with a mission to introduce Alternative/Renewable Energy at an accelerated rate to achieve 10% share of renewable energy in the energy mix of the country. Since its creation the Board has carried out following projects:Year – Project Funding (Rs. Million) – Project Title(2004) – ~10.00 – Research and Development of Bio-diesel Applications in Pakistan(2004) – ~5.0 – Fuel Cell Research Project(2004) – ~4.0 – Pilot Project for Development and Installation of 02 Micro Hydro Kaplan Turbines(2005) – 3.90 – Solar electrification at Narian Khorian(2005) – 100.00 – 100 Solar Homes projects in each province(2006) – 21.43 – Pilot Project of Production Plant of Bio Diesel(2006) – 39.80 – Solar Thermal Power Plants Technologies(2006) – 33.04 – Solar Water Pumping & Desalination Unit(2006) – ~3.0 – Development of an Electrical Vehicle(2006) – (cost unknown) – Socio-economic and technical feasibility for designing water supply schemes in villages of Balochistan and Sindh(2006) – (cost unknown) – Socio-economic survey of remote villages & their energy demands and water requirements(2006) – 4.03 – Research on Development of 1 KW Fuel Cell Vehicle(2006) – 3.00 – Development of supply chain mechanism for pedal generator, hand generator and led lanterns(2006) – 200.00 – Block allocation for i) Electrification of villages through installation of indigenously developed micro wind turbines ii) Research on development of 1 KW fuel cell rikshaw. iii) Erection and operation of pilot production plant for biodiesel with 500 liters per day capacity. iv) Assessment of wind/solar power potential and development of GIS for AEDB.(2006) – (cost unknown) – Feasibility Study for Development of a Master Plan for Establishment of an Institute for Renewable Energy Technology(2006) – (between 20 and 200) – Feasibility for waste energy plants in ten (10) cities of Pakistan(2006) – 50.35 – Solar Homes Program(2006) – 887.71 – Electrify 300 villages(2006) – (cost unknown) – Solar Home System for Province of Sindh, Solar Home System for Northern Balochistan, Solar Home System for Central Balochistan, Solar Home System for Southern Balochistan(2006) (cost unknown) – Supply of solar PV lantern system(2007) (cost unknown) – Baseline Capacity Assessment of PMD, AEDB, NEPRA(2007) – (cost unknown) – Study of grid integration with wind farms in Pakistan(2007) – (cost unknown) – Environmental Impact Assessment Study of the Gharo Corridor in PakistanTotal costs till the end of 2007: Rs. 1.5 billionAccording to the documents of Ministry of Finance and Planning Commission, Government of Pakistan provided over 1.5 billion rupees in funds to the AEDB for carrying out a number of projects.Other than receiving funds from the Government of Pakistan, the AEDB has been funded numerous times by international donor agencies as well. For example the Asian Development Bank (ADB) offered a Technical Assistance (TA) project in 2004 for the development of Renewable Energy in Pakistan. The objective of the proposed Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) was to assist the Government in designing a loan for financing investment in Renewable Energy. U.S. $ 550,000 were made available for the PPTA with U.S. $ 137,500 to be provided to each of the four provinces, while another U.S. $ 150,000 were made available for the Small Scale Technical Assistance (SSTA) for capacity building for carrying out Renewable Energy projects of all the four provinces involved with the TA. Some other mention-worthy projects funded by the international donor agencies till 2007 included:Year – Cost (US $ million) – Agency – Project Title(2004) – 0.55 – ADB – Renewable Energy Development(2005) – 510 – ADB – Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Program(2007) – 0.8 – ADB – Pakistan: Renewable Energy Policy Formulation and Capacity Development of the Alternate Energy Development Board(2006/7) – 3.10 (GEF) + 0.72 (GoP) – Exploitation of Untapped Potential of Wind EnergyOf the 510 million dollars, ADB had provided nearly 150 million dollars by 2007.Thus, by the end of 2007, AEDB had been handed up to six billion rupees from Government of Pakistan and international donor agencies. As a result of all this funding, Pakistan produced a total of 0 megawatts of power through renewable resources at the end of 2007.Narian Khorian ProjectTo understand what happened to the six billion rupees in four rupees, the most publicized project of the AEDB, the Narian Khorian solar electrification is looked at. On 19 June 2005 Prime Minister of Pakistan Shoukat Aziz inaugurated the ceremony of electrification of the entire Narian Khorian village through solar panels. The village is nearly 40 kilometers from Islamabad.The project funding included solar panels. Also, each household was given an electric fan and bulb to be powered by the battery charged by solar panel. The village also got a free water desalination plant. The project of solar electrification and desalination plant was Rs. 3.9 million. As there is no paved road leading to the village, a new road was constructed from the motorway to the village. This project is considered a triumph of AEDB and has been mentioned numerous times by local and international media. To this day the local media beats the drums of this successful project and an illuminating example of effective leadership of Air Marshal Raja Shahid Hamid the chairman of AEDB.The Inside StoryAccording to Akhtar Solar company located in Islamabad, they donated the solar panels installed at the Narian Khorian village, worth Rs. 3 million, for which they got the tax rebate. Other than the 3.9 million rupees specific to the project, an unknown sum was taken from the # (2006) – 33.04 —- “Solar Water Pumping & Desalination Unit” project (cost 33.04 million) to help buy the water desalination plant at the Narian Khorian village. The road which was constructed from motorway to Narian Khorian village, which in books is a paved road costing millions does not exist today.Where the Money WentWhich company got the 3.9 million rupees contract to purchase the solar panels and install them at the village is difficult to find. Whichever company that was, the money surely wasn’t used to purchase the solar panels as they were donated by Akhtar Solar. There was also a part of the project money which was to be used for the desalination plant. However, money from another project was also used to purchase the same plant – in essence two projects funded the purchase of same equipment. The road was built by the Government of Punjab. Its cost was a few million rupees.The Village StoryThe person to greet any new arrival in the village is a young teenager, who is considered the spokesperson of the village regarding the solar project. Also, this boy was an employee of Government of Pakistan for a period of two years. He was hired at Rs. 2000/month with the job to oversee and monitor the project and make necessary repairs if needed. He was paid Rs. 500 in advance by a person named by him as “Irfan”, a mid height bearded fellow who used to come in a white corolla with green number plate. (The DG of AEDB is Irfan Afzal Mirza with same physical appearance and has been provided a government Toyota Corolla). According to the teenager, he never saw the fellow ever again nor did he see a single rupee more. He has no idea what happened to rest of his salary.The next notability is the missing solar panels from rooftops. Then, one is also brought to the desalination plant, where amazingly there is no desalination plant. Of the installed panels, only 30% are in working condition at the moment.Where the Equipment WentA year after the triumphant inauguration of the solar village, an official from AEDB in official AEDB truck arrived at the village and started loading solar panels in the truck. He also had a couple of mechanics who quickly unscrewed the desalination plant and loaded it into the Shehzor truck. When the local teenager tried to protest, he was quickly handed over to the local police station. The locals had to pay a small amount of money to get the boy out a couple of days later. Next time when the Shehzor came no one said a word. At the end, more than a million rupees worth of equipment was transferred by the AEDB officials using AEDB’s Government of Pakistan vehicles

Michael Jackson’s nose missing in morgue

NEW YORK: According to a local publication, Michael Jackson wore a prosthetic nose and witnesses at a Los Angeles morgue story that it was missing from the King of Pop’s body. Instead, left behind was a small, dark hole.

The periodical, which hit newsstands Friday, reports that Jackson wore a prosthetic nose to hide the effects of frequent plastic surgeries.

According to the Mirror, Jackson’s former housekeeper, Adrian McManus said, “His nose was a problem. He wore plasters around the side to cover or support it. It was sternly cave in. In his closet he had a jar of fake noses and period glue, which he told me he used of disguise. But some were similar to his real nose, just without the hole.”

Jackson may have had at least six nose jobs, and reports point out it was because he supposed he look too much like his father.

In a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jackson spoke about the emotional and physical abuse he claims to have suffered at the hands of his father, Joe Jackson, who denies any abuse took place.

The superstar friend, Marcus Phillips said, “Michael was elated about the information that with the second nose job he looked less like his father. If he couldn’t erase him from his life at least he might erase him from the reflection in the reflect.”

The decision on Thursday overturns a 148-year-old regal law which describes a same-sex relationship as a "not natural offence".
Homosexual acts were carrying a punishment of by a 10-year prison sentence.
Many people in India regard same-sex relationships as illegitimate. Rights groups have long argued that the law contravened person rights.
India's Gay Day, headlined The Times of India
"..This historic decision could act as a catalyst, encouraging our legislators to shed their blinkers and take a more progressive view on the issue," the newspaper said.
"In 21st century India, it is perverse to penalise adults for their sexual choices."
'Giant step'Recitation the ruling as a "giant step towards globalization", the newspaper said India had become the 127th country "to take the guilt out of homosexuality".
It's okay to be gay, headline Hindustan Times
Section 377 of the colonial Indian Penal Code, defines homosexual acts as "carnal intercourse alongside the order of nature" and made them illegal.
"It took 150 years for us India - and 42 years after Britain itself had made homosexuality legal- to figure out that we didn't have a difficulty with same-sex relationships," Hindustan Times said.
The newspaper said "homosexuality and heterosexuality aren't divisive, emotive issues in Middle India - sexuality is, especially when it concern women and their perceived behaviors in a still male-dominated, anti-woman civilization at large".
Sexuality Equality, headlined The Indian Express
"Can a modern democratic system intrude upon the private domain of agreeable adults on the grounds of 'moral indignation’?" the newspaper wonder.
The paper said that the Delhi ruling "may not be the last word on the matter".

British dogs trained to sniff out diabetes danger

AYLESBURY, England: Dogs are being qualified in Britain as possible life-savers to warn diabetic owners when their blood sugar levels fall to treacherously low levels.Man's best friend previously has been shown competent of sniff out certain cancer cells, and dogs have long been put to work in the hunt for prohibited drugs and explosives.Their new front-line role in diabetes care follows current evidence signifying a dog's oversensitive nose can notice tiny changes that occur when a person is about to have a hypoglycemic attack.A investigation last December by researchers at Queen's University Belfast found 65 percent of 212 people with insulin-dependent diabetes reported that when they had a hypoglycemic incident their pets had react by whining, barking, licking or some other display.At the Cancer and Bio-Detection Dogs research centre in Aylesbury, southern England, and animal trainer are put that finding into practice and honing dogs' innate skills.The charity has 17 save dogs at a variety of stages of preparation that will be paired up with diabetic owners, many of them children."Dogs have been trained to detect certain odours down to parts per trillion, so we are talking tiny, minute amounts. Their world is actually very dissimilar to ours," Chief Executive Claire Guest told Reuters TV.The centre was started five years ago by orthopaedic surgeon Dr John Hunt, who wanted to investigate curious anecdotes about dogs harassment their owners repeatedly on parts of their body that were later establish to be cancerous.At approximately the same time, the first hard proof was being gather by researchers down the road at Amersham Hospital that dogs could recognize bladder cancer from chemicals in urine.The move into diabetes followed the case of Paul Jackson, who told Guest and her team about his dog Tinker who warns him when his sugar levels get too low and he is in danger of collapsing."It's usually licking my face, panting beside me. It depends how far I have gone before he realises," Jackson said.Tinker has now been educated by the Aylesbury centre and is a fully capable Diabetic Hypo-Alert dog, complete with red jacket to announce himself as a working assistance animal.The centre is continuing work to perfect dogs' ability in spotting signs of cancer. But while dog-lover Guest says it would be nice to have a dog in every doctor's office to screen for disease, ultimately that is not practical.Instead, she hopes the research will lead to the invention of an electronic nose that will mimic a dog's."At the moment electronic noses are not as advanced as the dogs', they are about 15 years behind. But the work that we are doing and what we are finding out will help scientists advance quickly so that they can use electronic noses to do the same thing," she said

Gary Kirsten Blames IPL for India`s Demise in T20 WC

England: Indian administrators may require resting their important players from the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) in future, national coach Gary Kirsten said on Monday.
Defending champions India were eliminating from the Twenty20 World Cup by England on Sunday. Afterwards captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said tiredness was a factor while Kirsten went a step further saying players had accepted injuries into the tournament.
“A lot of those niggles were selected up during the IPL,” Kirsten told reporters at the team hotel. “We lose contact with our players during the IPL because they are linked and responsible to their franchise and the players take a lot of pride on behalf of their franchises as well.
“The bottom line was the quantity of cricket that was being played and the quantity of niggle that came into this tournament. Maybe we need to consider pulling players out, but whether that is possible I don’t know.”
The international timetable around next year’s IPL is likely to be even tighter with the International Cricket Council staging another Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies in April, the period when the IPL has been theatrical in the past two years.
India lost their unstable opening batsman Virender Sehwag without playing a match because of a shoulder injury while Zaheer Khan missed the start of the tournament after sustaining a shoulder injury in the IPL.
If fast bowler Ishant Sharma is rested from the IPL he could lose a large portion of his $900,000 contract. Dhoni, himself, is on $1.35 million and opener Gautam Gambhir is on $750,000.
Kirsten also said because of the amount of cricket being play teams now needed to use bigger squads

Cinema Comes to Riyadh for First Time

For the earliest time in three decades, Saudis in the nation's capital did something that the majority Westerners take for decided — they went to the movies. But it wasn't accurately date night. No women were acceptable.Last Saturday's screening of the Saudi film, "Menahi," brought a flavor of the moviegoing experience to Riyadh more than 30 years after the government begin shutting down theaters — a move driven by religious conservatives who view cultural activities such as movie screenings and concerts with concern because they possibly will lead to mixing of the sexes and violate Islamic values.Men and children, counting girls up to 10, were allowed to attend Saturday's show at a government-run cultural midpoint. Young male organizers of the event manned a checkpoint on the street leading to the gated center so no women could reach the the theater.And in a sign of the challenges that face every small step toward reform, a group of conservative men gathered outside the entry to the center to try to discourage the moviegoers from going in. People mainly ignored them, savoring the possibility to munch popcorn and enjoy the cinema."It was just beautiful to see people look so lively and happy," said Misfir al-Sibai, a 21-year-old Saudi businessman who attend the screening. "That was the best fraction of the evening."Despite the exclusion of half of Riyadh's population, the decision to show the film, fashioned by a company owned by royal tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, was a daring step. It follows a trend in breach up the kingdom, culturally and in other ways, that begin when King Abdullah came to power in 2005.That has angered conservatives, who have issue edicts against such artistic events. One of them, Youssef al-Ahmed, has even accused Alwaleed and another Saudi businessman of being as dangerous as drug dealers because the TV channels they possess broadcast movies.Inside the center on Saturday, the atmosphere was lively as the moviegoers buy popcorn and posed for pictures with the film's cast.Two Saudi men tried — but failed — to disrupt the evening.
