Minister of Power Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari informed the National Assembly on Wednesday that employees in power production companies (Gencos) will either be admitted to distribution companies (disco) or dismissed with full compensation, which ensures that their rights are not compromised. In response to an attention message about the recent decision not to absorb Gencos staff in discos and other organizations under the power department, he clarified that discos are currently facing a staff shortage. Instead of hiring new workers, Gencos employees will be accommodated. He revealed that details of 1,335 employees, primarily non-technical support staff, have already been shared with different discos. He assured that those who retire would receive reasonable compensation. He said that Gencos employees cost the government RS7 billion annually in wages, neither belonging to the engineering sector nor contributing significantly to the economy.
