Partly Facetious: Technical appointments?

"There is something to be said about technical appointments."
"Indeed technical ministers are qualified in their field though sadly for Pakistan many of them exhibit lack of a backbone in not insisting on giving an ultimatum to the party leader: you either agree to implement my technically correct decisions or else I resign!"
"That is not always the case. Ishaq Dar was an accountant and look at where he left the country's economy, the guy had no clue about economics, balancing a book is not enough, now The Khan made an accountant the head of Federal Board of Revenue, a much better choice subject of course to the FBR staff accepting and implementing his directives in letter and spirit and..."
"There is that danger and let's be honest, The Khan himself has publicly complained that bureaucrats are not following his directives in letter and spirit."
"Speaking of technocrats I would like to bring it to the notice of The Khan that his Oh So Special Assistant (OSSA)..."
"Zulfi Bukhari?"
"Not him, though he is one of 13 special assistants and there are only two technocrats on this list..."
"What's the point of a special assistant who is not a technocrat?"
"Hey, the point is to show appreciation for services rendered in the past or present or to be rendered in future..."
"Where does Firdous Ashiq Awan fit in?"
"In future I would imagine, besides no one wanted this ministry and Khan was committed to shuffling Fawad Chaiudhary out of it....anyway speaking of the Lady she did not instruct the Press Information Department to send out a press release on Dr Hafeez Sheikh's interview on Pakistan Television...why are you laughing?"
"I just find it funny that a man who fully supports privatization chose the state run media to air his views, I mean isn't that a contradiction..."
"PTV asks the right questions whereas these dratted private sector journalists ask challenging questions...and in defence of Ms Awan, let me just state that she may have thought that allowing him air time on PTV was enough, you know one has to guard against too much exposure to the media not going to the head of these technocrats who do not represent the people of this country..."
"And does Ms Awan?"
"Don't get personal."
"But..."
"I said don't get personal."
