In what can be described as an embarrassing incident for Pakistan, a bureaucrat was filmed stealing a Kuwaiti official’s wallet. The Kuwaiti delegation was reportedly visiting Pakistan to discuss investment plans. They launched an official complaint upon discovering that a wallet had gone missing.

On reviewing the footage on the CCTV (of the Finance Ministry of Pakistan), a video was uncovered where the Grade 20 GoP official can be seen picking up a wallet.

Upon learning about the incident, Twitter users were quick to ridicule and condemn the actions of the officer. They described the incident as a “national embarrassment”.

This is not just a theft... This is a crime against the whole nation. He has totally damaged the reputation of Pakistanis abroad. Even Pakistani labourers and taxi drivers in the GCC countries have a reputation of honesty. This man has shamed us all. Deserves severe punishment.

Bureaucracy is rotten, full ot political appointments and cronies. Operation cleanup required, across the board.

For this thief who has humiliated the country, state should publicly expose and punish him.

How about name shaming the individual? When did this happen? Didn’t see any major news outlet covering it, anyway such a shame.

Where is the due respect to the code of conducts and statehood behavior and attitude toward the elementary role of law among the theft liers and desires?
