The Real Tabdeeli.

The frequent changes in the key bureaucratic positions particularly in the center and in Punjab is hurting the governance. It is a “musical chair” like situation for the bureaucracy as the Punjab government do frequent changes on key positions that has made the concept of performance and accountability totally redundant. Let’s have a look on the changes which the Punjab and federal government has made since coming into after July 2018 election.

•   The health sector after the Covid- 19 pandemic has become all important, Dr Allah baksh was removed in march when the corona had just struck. He was replaced by Dr  syed Tauqir shah (PAS) officer who had served as PS to ex CM Shehbaz Sharif during the PMLN tenure and he successfully managed the epidemic in Punjab in 2011,but however he was removed just after one week. Dr Tanveer who was replaced by Tauqir shah was also changed after some months and Amir Ashraf khwaja has been posted the health secretary last month.
•  Chief secretary Punjab Azam suleman who was posted last year amid the pronouncements of depoliticizing the administration was changed after 4 months. The officers who were sidelined by Azam suleman has again staged a comeback once Azam was removed.Former commissioner DG Khan Tahir Khurshid, ex secretary to CM Dr shoaib and SSp Amir taimoor Uzdar (uncle of Cm Usman Buzdar) were removed by Azam suleman but now all have come back with full force.

• The most hilarious and blatant example of this bureaucratic musical chair is the position of Punjab secretary in HEC.  9 secretaries has been changes since September 2018.

•  The irrigation department is perhaps the worst hit as it has seen 11 secretaries since the arrival of Usman Buzdar

•  Rawalpindi division which is the most sensitive one has seen 4 commissioners since PTI came      into power.
•       The food secretaries of Punjab has been changed five times and this was also the reason behind      the wheat crisis.
•        The federal government has so far changed 5 IG police and four chief secretaries.
•      The board of investment also saw four chairmans Since the PTI government came into power.
•        The last but not the least in DG Khan which is also the home town of Punjab CM Usman          Buzdar has got six commissioners and five deputy commissioners so far.

v  The civil administration and the police postings in the province has become a joke.

The situation on one hand is hurting the governance and on other it has seriously demoralized the civilian bureaucracy and no one is sur about his tenure. PTI in its manifesto had promised the civil service reforms and respect for the bureaucrats but the bureaucrats have become a rolling stone like never before.

Father Of Taliban.
