Show: Off The Cuff

Host: Afia Salam

Topic: Controlling the Controllers

Description: Every department of an institution has cash cows who are the central tradesmen. The institution is on track and running because of them. Isn’t it their right to get paid and to demand for a payment if they don’t?

Back in the 70s, Pakistani cricketers were not known as professional players because they did not get paid a lot. Some of our cricketers who played county in England were once called for national duty. When they asked about their fees, they were labelled as traitors.

Isn’t it a sportsman’s right to get paid?  Aren’t they the ones pulling in the money for the country?
