This was to make them come into Pakistan, Benazir knew that they would not be able to charge high as they were going to have to compete against each other for price, in present we have a elite group that has bought all the National Power stations, they were sold off during Musharraf era to Saudis, Chaudris and group of generals. The terms were that they were wealthy and powerful and therefore would add more Power station grids at their own cost. They never did.
