PAKISTAN
Syed Moonis Abdullah Alvi has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of K-Electric, media reports said. He was facing a situation linked to harassment allegations raised by a former employee of the company.
Alvi submitted his resignation to the Chairman of K-Electric and departed for Umrah, a report said on Friday.
On Feb 3, K-Electric had informed the KSX that the Governor of Sindh has set aside the order previously issued by the Provincial Ombudsman, Sindh, against the company’s Chief Executive Officer in a harassment complaint case.
The development follows K-Electric’s earlier disclosure dated August 1, 2025, regarding an order passed by the Provincial Ombudsman on July 31, 2025, in a complaint filed by a former employee under the Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010. The complaint had been lodged against two employees and a former director of K-Electric, said the company’s notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
According to K-Electric, the Governor of Sindh, exercising powers under Section 9 of the Act, heard the parties and reviewed the relevant record before issuing the decision to set aside the Ombudsman’s July 31, 2025 order.
Alvi joined K-Electric in 2008 and held several key positions during his tenure, including Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary, and Head of Treasury. In 2018, he was appointed as the CEO. With over 30 years of professional experience, Alvi led multiple initiatives at the utility, including the globally recognized “Roshni Baji” program, and was widely regarded as the public face of the company in the media.
Last year, former K-Electric Chief Marketing and Communication Officer Meherin Aziz Khan accused Alvi of harassment, intimidation, and causing mental distress. She filed a complaint with the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh, Justice (Retd.) Shah Nawaz Tariq. The Ombudsman had ordered Alvi’s removal from office and imposed a fine of Rs 2.5 million.
Alvi consistently denied the allegations and announced his intention to challenge the Ombudsman’s decision.
Although the Governor’s decision provided some relief to Alvi, sources say he had already decided not to continue in his role as CEO. It is further claimed that after handing over his resignation to the Chairman, Alvi left for Umrah. – ER News Desk
