Alvi stated that the agreement will allow the two companies to open a chain dental practices in Pakistan to provide affordable care.

After the signing of the MoU, social media in Pakistan is buzzing with excitement.

While some are questioning whether the Pakistani president used his official position to benefit his family, others argue that it was a familial obligation.

Alvi Dental is a private business that Dr Arif Alvi runs.

It was founded by his son and was taken over by him as president in 2018.

The practice’s website still lists the president as a dentist, and a member of “Our Team”, with an option to schedule an appointment.

Geo News reported that a senior Karachi lawyer, who requested anonymity, said that this is a grave violation of the basic principles of conflict-of-interest.The illegal use of state resources by Governor House and the presence the President are offences under the National Accountability Bureau Ordinance (1999), Section 9 (a), (iv).

It is also a violation the president’s oath which states: “I will never allow my personal interests to influence my official behavior or my official decisions.”

Asad Rahim Khan, a Lahore-based lawyer, said that the ceremony involves a private company but is marked with the seal of the Federation (through Governor Sindh) and with the president in attendance.

The history of Pakistan is full of relatives who have benefited from the closeness of the presidency from Ayub, the field marshal, onwards.Alvi, who was a protestor against the regime, is well aware of this trend and has promised to fight it.According to Geo News, he must clarify that this is not a conflict of interest.

Hira Jaleel is a Lahore-based lawyer who stated that “Since it is the President’s child and not the President himself who enters into an MoU it cannot strictly be called conflict of interest.” However, poor judgment and even illegality are evident in the President’s decision to publicly announce the event via Twitter and that it took place at Governor House.According to Geo News, the President would have been better off avoiding this transaction.
