Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hyderi, said on Thursday that provincial governments should accommodate 16,000 employees of National Commission for Human Development (NCHD). This, he said, during a meeting with a delegation of NCHD employees who have been staging a protest sit-in and hunger strike in Parade Ground in front of Parliament House for the last 24 days.
Hyderi also said the provincial governments should regularise the employees of NCHD as most of them have been working with NCHD for the last ten years and become overage for seeking any permanent job in some other government department. Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hyderi said he will personally meet the Chairman of 18th Amendment Implementation Commission to sort out the issue. He said that his party had highlighted the issues arising out of devolution of various ministries much earlier.
The Opposition Leader in the Upper House asked the provincial governments to allocate funds for the devolved ministries or the federal government should assist them till they are able to manage these ministries on their own. He was informed that Balochistan and Sindh governments have indicated to accommodate 2,260 and 2,740 employees, respectively. However, Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government are unwilling to accommodate 6,000 and 5,000 employees, respectively. They also told, if 16,000 NCHD employees are not accommodated, not only their families will face financial crisis but also education of over 500,000 children would be affected.
