ISLAMABAD:
The Central Selection Board (CSB) last week recommended the promotion of some 150 bureaucrats to grade 20. The secretariat group that serves the federal bureaucracy secured the most promotions, trailed by the District Management Group (DMG) officers.
The board recommended 50 officers of the secretariat group for promotion to grade 20, said officials of the establishment division. 32 DMG officers, 30 officers from audits and account group, four officers each from the military land and cantonment group, intelligence bureau and the foreign services and two officers each from the information and postal services were recommended for promotion.
The meeting to review the performance of civil servants in a ten-hour long session was chaired by chairman of the Federal Public Services Commission Justice (retd) Rana Bhagwandas at the Cabinet Secretariat.
On Friday, the board had recommended the promotion of 78 government officers to grade 21.
The board recommended the promotion of 34 officers of DMG, 16 from the secretariat group, 12 officers of the police service group, six officers belonging to the audit and accounts group, four from the foreign service, three bureaucrats from the information group and one officer each from railways, postal services and the military land and cantonment group to grade 21. Meanwhile nine police officers were promoted to grade 20.
The summary of names of the officers recommended for promotion will be forwarded to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani within a few days, said secretary cabinet division Chaudhry Rauf while talking to The Express Tribune. Some bureaucrats’ promotion was deferred due to litigation issues and shortage of time. The chairman assured the members that another meeting will be convened.
The board met after nearly a year because of legal hitches. Now that the ordinance concerning the law for civil servants has lapsed, the FPSC chairman is empowered to head the board, The Express Tribune has learnt.
The board members appreciated Justice (retd) Bhagwandas for his thoroughness and familiarity with the officers’ career records, sources said.
