According to sources, in a most recent act of favouritism, ex-secretary Arshad Ali Ansari was deprived of his job by one of the ministers - Mir Changaiz Khan Jamali -because of 'non-compliance' of Changaiz's instructions.
In another such example a Grade 18 officer who was serving at EPZ on deputation, has not only been promoted to Grade 19 but also posted as Secretary at (PSQCA) avoiding all norms. Sources added that the newly deputed secretary Ghulam Umar Qazi had stopped salary for about 8 months, and deputed him at PCSIR Peshawar, The ex Secretary Irshad Ali Ansari had already challenged the deputation of Ghulam Umer Qazi at Sindh High Court. The Federal Secretary had already ordered for his restoration as Secretary PSQCA. The PCSIR has intimated regarding non availability of the post of grade 19 officer at the department, they added.

The massive unqualified and over age hiring was done by taking huge bribe which was ultimately an over burden to the department Federal Secretary Akhlaq Ahmad, deputy secretary Aisa Gul, Advisor to the Minister Sikandar Bhangwar, and Deputy Director Admin Muhammad Idrees were directly or indirectly involved in hiring process.
