16-2-2023
ISLAMABAD - After getting criticism over a decision to appoint a grade-18 officer of Pakistan Administrative Service as head of the Internal Accountability Board, the Chairman Capital Development Authority has decided to revise the composition of the said anti-graft body. Earlier, the said board was constituted with the approval of Chief Commissioner Islamabad and Chairman CDA Noor-ul-Amin Mengal in which a grade-18 officer of the Pakistan Administrative Service Umber Gillani was made its head. The board has seven members including Director General Law Naeem Dar, Director Procurement Syed Miskeen Kazmi, Director Technical Faisal Naeem, Director Security Syed Fatehul Mannan and Director Admin Faiz Ahmed Wattoo. However, the decision did not go well as some of the senior officers objected over the move as how a junior officer can be made head of the forum which will have to do accountability of the whole organization having senior officers in grade-19 and 20. According to the sources after receiving resistance, Mr. Mengal has directed to reconstitute the board by appointing Umber Gillani as the board secretary instead of the head of the said board while Chairman himself or a senior member will be made board’s chairman.
