NTDC, one of the most important parts of Pakistan's power sector which also contains some key functions like National Power Control Centre (System Operator) and Power System Planning and is one of the three signatories of all power purchase agreements, was being run by a new MD every year. One of those MDs in 2016-17 was an esteemed power sector professional who was sacked by the BoD citing slow progress on certain projects but many were of the view that he actually had questioned the signing of new power purchase agreements which the transmission system was not ready to transmit and which were going to haunt the country in the hindsight. The point is this organization was extremely important for overall power system and its leaders were being removed every now and then probably because they did not comply with 'the orders' from the ministry. You can not ensure risk management in your long term power system planning in this situation, even if you want to.
