The cost of justice
From the Blog mehmalThe Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan’s decision on Wednesday to maintain the conviction of Mumtaz Qadri by an Anti-Terrorism Court is being hailed as a landmark judgement. Qadri, who had filed an appeal for a reduction in his sentence, was earlier convicted for the assassination of Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer.

Stitching together the world of disparate payments*) I discussed on how fragmented the payment system is world over. I want to highlight a problem area that is abundantly documented in the form of posts on forums all over the internet – the ability to take one payment and juxtapose it to another payment platform. In my previous post, I highlighted three examples: 1. There is no way a PayPal payment can land on a bKash wallet in Bangladesh. 2. There is no way Boleto payments can be loaded on to a debit card in Philippines. 3. There is no way for a Dwolla payment to go to Venmo – seamlessly. Companies are *reluctant* to expand into territories or connect to other payments system, if thpakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
