A directive issued by the commission on April 2 stated that the caretaker government was required to replace federal and provincial secretaries, except for those who are considered independent. Should a government choose not to replace a secretary, it must inform the commission of its decision, said the directive.
After almost ten days after that directive was issued, the commission noted the Sindh caretaker government had not replaced or transferred any secretary, nor had it informed the ECP regarding its failure to.
On Thursday, the commission said that it has received complaints about the specific officers, alleging that they were in favour of political parties in the previous government.
The ECP gave the Sindh government seven days to transfer specific officers.
“Caretaker governments should endeavor to ensure that they not only act as neutral, but are also seen to be neutral,” said the press release.

From what I have witnessed in the past weeks. ECP's sphere of influence starts in Punjab and ends in Punjab. Transparent elections can't be scheduled like that.
How can fairness in Sindh be ensured when MQM's member is still occupying the Governorship of Sindh?? Free & Fair Elections demand that PPP and MQM's members should be stopped from functioning in the province.
