Default New AGP - another disgraceful and ignoble appointment

The PM recently appointed Mr. Akhtar Buland Rana as the new AGP, after forcing Mr. Tanveer Agha out of his post prematurely for reasons that defy both rhyme and reason. Mr. Agha's retirement was due in November as per the oath he undertook, when he was going to turn 65. He was forced out earlier because he gave the government a hard time over the nasty incidents of corruption and graft in the different government departments, but on the flimsiest pretext of 18th amendment which just shortened the constitutional appointment of AGP from five to four years.

Mr. Agha, an officer par excellence, has an impeccable record of service through out his career and also served in the World Bank in Washington for many years, and contributed tremendously during his tenure in this sensitive and extremely important post of AGP. After Mr. Agha's retirement, there were numerous competent and deserving officers of PAAS who could have filled his place without anyone having a single reason to point fingers at them, but of all the possible people the PM chose the one with most questionable and dubious character and with no extraordinary merit of competency, rather the contrary! His only merit is that he was an old friend of PM, being from the same region and ethnicity.

For the last many years this man, on leave from PAAS, has been sitting as janitor and security guard in a building in Canada, watching security cameras (compare with Agha who has been an executive in world's top financial institution) and lo and behold he becomes the Auditor General of his country. Are we becoming some kind of a banana republic??

What more, he possesses multiple passports and NICs, which is absolutely illegal; and the feather in his crown: has been convicted of sexual harassment of a female PAAS officer by his own department very recently, on which account he was barred from promotion to grade-21. He conveniently undid that through his connections in the ruling party, got promotion in 21 and within no time to 22, off-course. What does such a despicable rogue have to suffer for when every other convicted wretch is someone in this country?? He is the brand new Auditor General of Pakistan, what a comedy this government is playing with the country!
