Islamabad: Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat of Pakistan’s National Assembly (lower house) has unanimously approved “The Federal Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2016” bringing recruitments in civil service in BPS-11 and above within purview of Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC).
The committee met with Rana Muhammad Hayat Khan in the chair at the Parliament House here on Thursday.
Committee Chairman Rana Muhammad Hayat said that the Federal Public Service Commission should recruit for civil service in grade-11 and above. He said that Punjab Public Service Commission is recruiting for civil service in grade-11 and above.
The additional secretary Establishment Division said that FPSC is already facing many problems and we are against the amendment in the bill relating to recruitment in grade-11. He said the FPSC is also conducting recruitments for corporations.
All members of the committee opposed the views of additional secretary and said that no one would point the finger at the politicians or others if the FPSC recruits candidates in grade-11 and above in a transparent manner.
