Prime Minister, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has appointed Secretary Commerce, Zafar Mahmood as Secretary Water and Power on the recommendations of Minister for Water and Power, Ahmad Mukhtar. On Monday, Ahmad Mukhtar told Business Recorder that the process is underway to replace Secretary Water and Power Imtiaz Kazi, adding that three or four names are under consideration to fill the slot.
On Tuesday, Zafar Mahmood held a detailed meeting with his new boss and discussed power sector woes and challenges faced by the government. He was uneasy in the Commerce Ministry because of NICL scam as the Supreme Court of Pakistan had directed him to take action for transfer of Rs 420 million NICL funds in the accounts of Makdoom Amin Fahim, his spouse and son.
The sources said, Imtiaz Kazi, had requested Prime Minister for another posting after the replacement of Naveed Qamar with Ahamd Mukhtar. Kazi, who is very close friend of Naveed Qamar, Defence Minister is tipped as new Secretary Establishment. Hamayat Ullah Khan, Senior Joint Secretary Economic Affairs Division (EAD), who is very close to Senior Commerce Minister, Makdhoom Amin Fahim is expected to be new Secretary Commerce.
