Here you go in own words of Pakistani minister.
PS
This is the best part of CNN coverage:
"PIA has grounded all its pilots who hold fake licenses, effective immediately."
Sounds like they knew about the issue and apparently even had a list but until yesterday took no action.
That would be my educated guess as well.
I would make another educated guess that there were people making money out of this corrupt system.
They got caught and had to go public. I imagine the people involved are frantically trying to shift the blame away from themselves. All very typical for that part of the World.
Instead of opposing Corruption - people are trying to find ways to get in on the action! That's why things never change imho
Didn't their PM Imran Khan get elected on an anti Corruption platform?
