Drastic Civil Service Reforms Unveiled

The federal government has said that reforms in the civil service would pave the way for `forced` retirement of delinquent officers from government service and introduction of tough criteria for promotion of bureaucrats.

Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mehmood, who is also chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Institutional Reforms, told a press conference on Wednesday that Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday approved these reforms and that the rules that governed the civil service had been brought in conformity with the reforms.

Provincial officers reject proposed civil service reforms

The provincial civil service representatives have rejected outright the proposed civil service reforms, claiming that facts have been distorted, leading to compromised provincial autonomy, good governance and service delivery.

Demanding provincial civil service reforms in line with the Constitution, the provincial service officers say the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) officers were even compromising the authority of the chief ministers as well as speakers of all four provincial assemblies. They demanded the chief secretaries be selected from the provincial service officers.
