I am sure we can replace this expensive creature with a better candidate who perhaps can last longer without the need of frequent medical visits to UK!

I'm sure we should place him in a wooden casket and place him under a few tonnes of sand and concrete..

There is nothing wrong with medical visits to UK when he can get better medical treatment there. Whats wrong with that?

Kindly read the article! He used our tax money!

when he can get better medical treatment there.

He could have gotten better treatment in Pakistan had he improved the medical facilities of Pakistan instead of wasting the money on flying himself to UK!

When in jail here, he used the same "not so good facilities" to get treatment here in Pakistan, right? SO why didnt he while he was PM? Why fly to UK then?

Why didnt he improve the facilities for us and himself?

What do the rules of the land say about health coverage provided to a serving Prime Minister? Were any rules broken?

Spot on instead of wasting unnecessary tax payers money to go abroad for medical visits, If Godfather had built a world class hospital in the first place, there was no need for any elites to go abroad, but I guess they need to go abroad to find excuses.

If you care about the country you would have at least 1 good hospital in Punjab - ran by brother younger Shariff for decades and YET not a single hospital fit for a PM?

Rules were broken for putting burden on the nation!

Rules were broken? How can that claim be proven if the rules allow for such treatments for serving PMs? The solution is to change the rules. Where is the process to do that underway with PMIK?

There is allowance and then there is overusing borderline misusing...

Then there is a new level called care for the nation and actually do something about the problem...I.e. in this situation no hospital fit enough for PM's treatment! Yet same guy was treated in a Pakistani hospital in PAKISTAN while in jail

So when he was PM, was he laced with gold that only the British could treat him?

Were any rules broken?

I am not talking about laws but morality here! More like he didnt even make a single hospital fit for a PM? Nor his bro in Punjab for decades?

Can it be shown that any medical allowance was exceeded in an illegal manner and make a case for refunding the same, plus a fine?

The law needs to apply in every case of alleged misconduct. Selective moral outrage is merely manipulative.

I hope so!

Considering he flew a whole plane instead of just buying a say 1st class ticket?

travelled to Britain on special airplane on May 22, 2016 and the special aircraft returned to Pakistan on May 29, 2016

after medical treatment a special aircraft was again sent to London on July 9, 2016 and the PML-N supremo was taken back to Pakistan on the same plane.

Laws dont control the rich and corrupt!

Laws dont control the rich and corrupt!

Esp when it is clear the old PM thought of the national exchequer as his personal wallet!

So whose fault is that? And how can it be rectified?

Violations of law need to be shown to prove what is being claimed, clearly.

One Answer IK

Well, he can get the laws changed properly so that such alleged misuse cannot happen again.

Excess use/ misuse/ lack of restrain/ lack of planning/ when using the national exchequer = corruption?
