skilled professionals for industries.
• Daneyal F (Karachi): The mayor has provided Karachi with a master plan. Before him the port city of Karachi which provides 68% revenue to Pakistan and with a population of 18 million people has no masster plan. He has for the first time provided Karachites with green bus service(CNG) where there is a electronic ticketing system with no conductor inside the bus.

• Amit A(Karachi): He is focusing good on improving public transportation. There is good accountability on incoming and out going budget which can be seen listed in the karachi city website.
• Aamir R (outside Pakistan): Mayor Mustafa kamal has done a lot from constructing roads, laying insfratructure, health facilities etc. What most people don't understand that in Karachi it is very difficult to get even th basic done as the city was in a mess before he took over an din just 4 years he has changed Karachi. He is easily accessible and you can even lodge a complain on 1339 for any issues. He even got a ISO 9001 certificate for Transparency in his dept. I cannot say enough about this guy except that Karachi is lucky to have him and so is Pakistan
• Mohammed H (Karachi): Our City Mayor Syed Mustafa Kamal solved one of the biggest problem that was facing by the people of karachi from last 40 years. He made a 7 stories parking plaza in Saddar that is the most conjusted area of Karachi. This is something never happened in any city of Pakistan & this work is most appreciatable.
• Syed T K (Karachi): The mayor's honesty and dedication to the city is great!! I would undoubtedly say that he is the most sincere mayor and politcian of Pakistan!!!
• Rehan F (Karachi): 1. Fetching and implementing the idea of signal free corridors
2. 1st initial step taken in August 2009 of deputing 50 CNG green buses on one of the busiest route to the downtown.
3. Setting of command and control system for key areas of cosmopolitan city
4. Developing the city's master plan.
5. Developing the project of "I Own Karachi" which is a unique idea of creating awareness in people that the city in which they live belongs to them and that they are responsible for its growth, cleanliness and developement.
6. Development of Karachi development fund, in which every one can contribute from Rs. 10 to Rs. 100,000,000.
• Saadia A (Pakistan): The major and most important issue of "traffic" was addresed by Mr. Kamal by introducing signal free corridores for the smooth flow of traffic. The biggest city of Pakistan was without any sewerage lines/system. This was also addresed by the City Mayor, althougt few places are still without these lines. He is a man with a mission, he knows what he wants to do and how he is going to do it in his limited financial resources. A true leader who knows how to make a difference. Good looks are always welcome.
• Saher N (Karachi): The mayor has changed Karachi City for good completely. He has done what one could only dream of for past 60 years almost. All of his projects were a success, his ideas and stategies were unbelievable. I've never seen anyone as hardworking and dedicated as him. Hats off to him!
• Noman A (Karachi): He is an intelligent person and a very inspiring leader.The people of karachi love his. he's very popular here. He has done more in the past few years than all the previous mayors put together in the past 60 years.
• Wajih U R (Karachi): He introduce the concept of Signal Free Traffic Corridor to overcome ever increasing traffic in Karachi. This , not only provided smooth flow to commuters but also have help reducing envirnmental pollution. Project to provide Clean drinking water was started and new water pipe line was laid with billions of Rupees. This, though , have not solved the problem but at least someone is working on it.
• Muhammad F (Outside Pakistan): He is very hard working, honest and pragmatic.. have done lots of developmental works all around the city, including those neighbouring villages and poor localities where people werre suffering from the basic amenities of life. now even political enemies acknoledges his dedication and hard work for the betterment of the city.
• Ghulam M (Karachi): Changed the face of Karachi. Karachi was paralyzed with shortage of water and transportation. Both were solved and he is trying to sell Karachi as a city of peace.
• Noman S (Karachi): He has changed the entire infrastrucute of the city.
• Amir A, Karachi: Having clear vision about development of city without discrimination
• Syed Usman S, Karachi: The International Standardization Organization (ISO) Geneva has granted ISO certification 9001 to City Government Karachi for providing best services to its citizens. Mustafa Kamal was praised by the Supreme Court of Pakistan for his efforts to make Karachi a mega city and to carry out relief operations.
• Irum, Karachi: Mustafa Kamal has done so much for our city. He resolved out the traffic and other problems due to unexpected heavy rains in Karachi within 24 hours, (before him always just for normal rains there was water on the main streets blocking traffic and harming vehicles for many days, and they said because of so many vehicles and busy roads of so big city they could not solve it properly. Built bridges, underpasses, flyovers, changed the whole infrastructure in short span of time, never happened like that before, there were so many problems due to roads system, hours ride from one place to another, other government people start the projects and take years to complete only for one project, and he did so many in one year simultaneously and no traffic problem due to construction, excellent planning and management.
• Murtaza M, Karachi: The mayor has Improved the standard of sewerage and water lines and extended the roads and made signal free corridors including new bridges and underpasses allowing the distance covered in hours into minutes and all of these were done in short period of time.
Thumbs down:
• Majid C (Pakistan): He is a member of MQM whose leader Altaf Hussain is accused of a huge number of killings in Pakistan and nowadays he is in UK and not comming to Pakistan.
• Ali R (Pakistan): Seriously I dont know much except he very much supports the MQM leader which is disgusting. If he left this thing he ll be the best politician in whole Pakistan. Most of people only dislike him because of MQM.
• Mehdi P (Karachi): Building flyovers where they are not needed at all, just to make VIPs happy. Streets are never clean, roads are rarely swept, manholes open in the city, lot of other problems, such as, cleaning, safety, bribing by police, overall its a lawless region.
• Faral K (Karachi): He seems to loose his tamper quite easily when provoked by journalists
• Jim (Karachi): The Karachi mayor belongs to the political party - MQM.
All the major development projects in Karachi are done where there is a big vote bank for MQM.
Shah Faisal Town is one of the biggest vote bank for MQM and this town has been transformed completely whereas town adjacent to it where the vote bank is weak are left neglected.
• Waheed (Karachi): The mayor is not accounting properly for the millions of rupees his administration receives from the federal government. Such lack of transparency can lead to corruption.
• Arif M (Karachi): Need to improve public transport system.
• Muhammad F (Outside Pakistan): The only negative about him, sometime gets emotional and gets angry very quickly.
• Amir A, Karachi: No focus on urban transportation.
• Hamza U, Karachi: Some of the mayor's u-turns are not working out.
• Syed Z R, outside Pakistan: Mayor Kamal has started too many projects at the same time.
