Sindh ombudsman orders to remove KE CEO Moonis Alvi for workplace harassment
Sindh Ombudsman for the Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Justice (retired) Shah Nawaz Tariq has also imposed a fine of Rs2.5 million on Alvi in the same case.
After allegation of harassing a woman was proven against him, the KE CEO must pay the fine within one month to the complainant through the registrar of the ombudsman's office, the Sindh government official stated.
Meanwhile, Alvi has termed the ombudsman's decision 'deeply distressing' for him, saying the findings did not reflect the truth of the situation as he experienced it.
Justice (retired) Tariq said in his decision that the KE CEO Alvi harassed and mentally tortured the complainant. 'If Moonis Alvi fails to pay the fine, his movable and immovable property should be confiscated,' he ordered.
The ombudsman also stated that if Alvi does not pay the fine, his computerised national identity card (CNIC) and passport should also be blocked.
Alvi was appointed CEO of KE in June 2018. Under his leadership, KE has undertaken a series of investments across the energy value chain. These investments include the development of 900 MW RLNG-fired power plant.
He joined KE in 2008 and has served as the company's Chief Financial Officer and also held the roles of Company Secretary and Head of Treasury.
Alvi holds 30 years of diversified experience in finance, financial planning, and capital restructuring. He is a Fellow member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan.

Rupee rallies for 10th straight session
Listen to article The Pakistani rupee extended its gains against the US dollar on Tuesday, appreciating by 0.03% in the inter-bank market. The currency closed at 282.57, up by nine paisa from Monday's close at 282.66. The rupee has strengthened by Rs2.40 against the US dollar over the past 10 trading sessions, according to a report of AKD Research. However, on a calendar year-to-date basis, the rupee has depreciated by 1.42%, while it has gained 0.42% in the fiscal year to date, according to data from Insight Securities. Moreover, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced its auction calendar for the August-October 2025 period, setting a target to raise Rs6.175 trillion through domestic debt instruments. The plan includes borrowing of Rs3.675 trillion through Market Treasury Bills (MTBs) and Rs2.5 trillion via Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), as part of the government's broader strategy to meet its fiscal needs and manage market liquidity. According to the SBP, seven MTB auctions are scheduled for the three-month period, with targets ranging from Rs225 billion to Rs700 billion per auction. These auctions are set for August 6, August 20, September 3, September 17, October 1, October 15 and October 29. The MTBs will be issued in tenors of one, three, six and 12 months, with allocations of Rs575 billion, Rs925 billion, Rs925 billion and Rs1.25 trillion, respectively. On a long-term basis, the SBP plans to raise Rs2.5 trillion through PIBs. This includes Rs1.1 trillion via fixed-rate bonds and Rs1.4 trillion through floating-rate bonds. The fixed-rate PIB auctions are scheduled for August 1, September 4 and October 14, with targets of Rs300 billion, Rs400 billion and Rs400 billion, respectively. These bonds will be issued for two, three, five, 10 and 15-year tenors. Floating-rate PIBs, all having 10-year maturity, will be auctioned semi-monthly from August 6 to October 29. Each auction aims to raise between Rs150 billion and Rs250 billion. The SBP's aggressive borrowing plan reflects the government's continued reliance on domestic sources to fund its budget deficit, especially in light of the restriction put in place by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that the government would not directly borrow from the SBP by printing new money, which adds to the already high inflation, even though this indirect borrowing also fuels inflation, but keeps things transparent. Meanwhile, gold prices in Pakistan fell on Tuesday, bucking the trend in international markets, where the precious metal held steady amid a stronger US dollar and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola dropped by Rs1,500 to settle at Rs358,000. Similarly, the price of 10-gram gold declined by Rs1,286, closing at Rs306,927. The decline comes a day after domestic gold prices had risen, with the per-tola rate climbing by Rs500 on Monday to reach Rs359,500. Internationally, spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,376.80 per ounce by 0947 am ET (1347 GMT) after rising to its highest level since July 24 on Monday. US gold futures also rose 0.1% at $3,430.
