The News reported that this was contrary to the past when the NAB wrote to the ministry to remove the Joint Secretary, who was transferred to the Ministry of Law and was investigating the corruption allegations.news world ahmed
The report quoted NAB officials as saying that a minister was asked to resign when the reference was filed, but instead of removing an officer who had already faced the reference, he was appointed to the higher office in the ministry. When the topic was discussed at various talk shows, the government removed Arshad Farooq from the post of Secretary of Law.
Arshad Farooq's case is not a unique case of his own in Bureaucracy, as the law prohibits the holding of NAB's suspects. Some people were not happy with the changes in the NAB ordinance during Arshad Farooq's age, which is evident from the news of Omar Cheema.news world ahmed
The fact is, however, that the proposed changes by Arshad Farooq Kai were the ones that were generally opposed by the civil bureaucracy and political parties. Arshad Farooq drafted amendments to the NAB rules for the cabinet which, after deliberations, decided to circulate in different ministries.
Not only that, Arshad Farooq also became a major hurdle for the NAB when he recommended the appointment of four general directors of Grade 22 in the NAB in a formal summary of the prime minister's name. When this summary reached the Ministry of Law, Arshad Farooq raised questions and identified flaws in the NAB's proposal as to how the Director General could be given a Grade 22. It has to report to the Deputy Chairman NAB, who is a Grade-21 self.news world ahmed
Arshad Farooq noted that NAB employees do not fall into the category of public servants. In this way, it could be a way for NAB officials to make progress. He also sought details about NAB's organizational structure to determine the need for four Grade 22 officers.
Arshad Farooq also asked how many officers from grade 17 to grade 21 would be required if four positions were created in grade 22.
He also raised questions on the financial implications of this and asked why the additional costs would be tackled. Chairman NAB presented the summary to the Prime Minister and said that any institution and organization in Pakistan is unmatched and unique. In a three-page summary under the chairmanship of NAB, the organization wants the Prime Minister's Bureau Headquarters in Islamabad to upgrade the current post of Director General from grade 21 to grade 22.news world ahmed
