Main reason why security is in such a mess
June 29, 2013
ISLAMABAD: Living up to its reputation, PPP government that had recruited 45 DSPs in 1995 even after they had failed to pass the entry tests, has now flooded Sindh Police with deputationists-cum-occupants as kith and kin of the high and mighty were requisitioned from different departments, never to be sent back.
Manned by the cousins and brothers of big guns, Sindh Police is now run by officials ‘borrowed’ from Nepra, Nadra, Narcotics Division, Excise & Taxation Department, Law Division, Information Technology, Vocational Training Centers, Education Department, Transport Department, FIA and IB.
Not only they were absorbed in Police and Anti-Corruption Establishment, they received rapid promotions. Several of them were granted even four out-of-turn promotions.
As the issue was taken up by the Supreme Court earlier, Secretary Services (Sindh) admitted before the learned bench that officers serving on deputation are not qualified for the post nor have expertise and knowledge of their respective duty. He had further disclosed that there were 567 officers sent on deputation by Sindh Government.
How Sindh Police is performing is clearly evident from an admission by PPP MPA Murad Ali Shah who on Tuesday criticised his own government for “hiring criminals in police.”
Deputationists absorbed in Sindh Police include two brothers of MNA Ayaz Soomro (who got them inducted under hiswatch as law minister Sindh in previous set up), nephew of MB Abbasi (an NRO-tainted ambassador to Iran and Iraq during last PPP regime), son of DIG Asghar Sheikh, brother of DIG Dost Ali Baloch and close relatives of several MPAs and PPP’s diehard supporters.
Documents submitted to the Supreme Court have explained the cases of around 100 names telling how they came on deputation and received rapid promotions. Ayaz Soomro inducted his brothers namely Rizwan and Riaz in Sindh Police during his stint as law minister, documents reveal. Riaz came on deputation from ANF and was absorbed and appointed in BS-17 as DSP in April 2008.
