Senate subcommittee scrutinizes gas connection spending by Sui Southern Gas Company
What happened
A Senate petroleum subcommittee met on October 8, 2026, to review gas connections. The subcommittee asked authorities to provide a province-wise and project-wise account of gas connections for villages near gas-producing fields, covering areas in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The committee requested details on schemes by Sui Southern Gas Company and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines, including amounts approved, released, and spent.

Why it matters
The review aims to bring gas funding and delivery back under parliamentary scrutiny. The subcommittee requested implementation records rather than simply a total number of announced schemes. This scrutiny demands detailed spending accountability for gas connections and corporate social responsibility programs.
