On the other hand, there are reports that officers accused of corruption are likely to face the axe. Officials said chief secretary Mohammad Siddique Memon along with seven other secretaries — Ghulam Phul, Dr Badar Mandhro, Khadim Channa, Subhan Memon (already transferred), Zulfiqar Shalwani, Manzoor Kanasro and Saqib Soomro — may be transferred soon. These officers are facing graft charges in the National Accountability Bureau and Federal Investigation Agency.
