“Our power still goes off every so often but it looks like the prime minister doesn’t have to suffer like us.”
On Monday, builders were putting the finishing touches to a car park opposite the house. The street, in a smart neighbourhood of Islamabad, has also been resurfaced in honour of the city’s newest VVIP.
Siddiq ul Farooq, of the main opposition PML-N party, said Mr Ashraf should only be granted uninterrupted power at his official residence, not at his private home.
“If the prime minister or his staff are responsible for this arrangement an enquiry should be held,” he said.
Mr Ashraf became Pakistan’s prime minister 10 days ago after Yousuf Raza Gilani was disqualified from office by the Supreme Court.
Mr Gilani was found in contempt of court after refusing to write a letter to authorities in Switzerland, asking them to re-open corruption proceedings against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Mr Ashraf has indicated he will also refuse to write the “Swiss Letter” raising the prospect of another change of prime minister or early elections but has promised to ease electricity shortages.
No-one from the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESC) was available to talk to The Daily Telegraph.
However, Rasheed Khattak, superintendent engineer earlier told The Express Tribune newspaper that the installation was carried out without any request from the government or prime minister’s office, and that the facilities would be removed when Mr Ashraf was no longer prime minister.
