The investigation team found that the bakery was closed without taking samples. The deputy director recused himself from questioning by Zimmedar Kaun’s investigative team, ARY News reported.

They explained to the deputy director that while the Sindh Food Authority was tasked with assuring food quality, the organization was actually more involved in corruption.

The people of Sindh suffer from excessive corruption and this is one of the main reasons for poverty in the region. (Arnie)
