not moved court to stop the process of solar panel purchase" he argued.
When asked if it was not violation of Supreme Court orders to transfer an officer on political bases without completion of his tenure, the Deputy Speaker said there was no issue of tenure in the projects.
Around 16,000 houses were demolished in Awaran and Kech districts in the 2013 earthquake. Around 27,000 people became homeless in the Awaran earthquake. The reconstruction of these houses began 11 months ago under three-year HRA projection. Around 3,000 houses have been already completed while work on another 7,000 is underway.
Sources said Jamali volunteered to work on difficult project when no other officer was willing to work in a volatile area. He was selected for his five-year experience in earthquake reconstruction in Kashmir. His work in Awaran has been recognized internationally and Chief Minister Balochistan has publically appreciated his work at a recent event.
However the problem started when after the construction of 3000 house, the officer decided to issue tender for purchase of solar panels.
Local politician, Jameel Ahmed who is also the brother of provincial assembly's Deputy Speaker filed a petition against the tenders in the Baluchistan High Court. Appearing before the court the officer expressed fear that he would be transferred. On 14th July 2015, BHC granted a stay order against his transfer from the post but the same day he was made OSD though a notification No SVIII-2(1)Gen/2015-S&GAD issued by the Services and General Administration Department Balochistan.
The notification directed the Commissioner Kalat Dr Muhammad Akbar to assume additional charge as project director HRA. However Aziz Jamali refused to relinquish the post in the light of Court Orders.
On 29th July the Commissioner submitted the Charge Assumption Report in violation of the court orders, quoting the earlier notification of the government.
When contacted the spokesman of Balochistan government Jan Mohammad Buledi said Aziz Jamali was an honest officer but the government had to listen to the politicians of the area.
"Awaran is insurgency-hit complicated area and government institutions are non-functional there. We have to take special measures for this area so we can't keep one officer deputed there for three years," he said.
"The transfer of Aziz Jamali is in the greater interest of the people of Awaran. No doubt he has done a good job so far but the progress was still slow," he said adding that Jamali will be assigned another task soon.
