MNA begs to be rescued from cockroaches
2006-09-21
ISLAMABAD: PML MNA Ali Akbar Wains made a surprising complaint to the CDA at a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting on Wednesday, saying that cockroaches in his official residence had made his life a living hell. The meeting was held at Parliament House to review audit objections on the maintenance and construction of parliament lodges. "My complaint is different and strange. It has become impossible for me to live in my official residence because of cockroaches," he said. "I have asked CDA officials several times to come to my rescue, but nothing has been done. Cracks in woodwork provide a safe place for these insects to hide," Wains added.

#6  Mr. Wife only later told me of the cockroaches in his room when he was hospitalized in Bhopal with amebic dysentery. Those bugs are serious! Not at all like the little, scurrying things we have in more temperate climes.

#5  Loaded with symbolism. The reporter must have had a hard time not laughing when he put this one together! :-)

Cockroaches are pretty tough. I suggest a MOAB.

#3  Why doesn't he just pop down to the local 7-11 for some Raid?

Oh, that's right, they blew it up.
