This is the hard fact that our bureaucracy is polluted and corrupt. Posting and transfers are made in personal interest and not in the public interest. Many such heroes are serving in Pakistan.

Talent is not utilized as it should be. Specialist Employees are often victimized and punished by higher authorities for a petty issue or a little mistake as a revenge. A highhanded but less competent officer never accepts a talented junior officer under his command so he would post him out for the sake of his so called Honour and Dignity and would compromise the interest of public & the nation for his personal likings.

The history has seen some very capable people serving at the right posts and slots have been transferred from there just due to personal biases. A stroke of pen often falls too heavy for the nation.

Career progression and grooming has not found its ways in Pakistani bureaucracy as it should have.


When a foreign course on Anti-Terrorism or such like subject is offered, every officer tries to get selected for the course and would prepare himself for the interview very seriously because it is a foreign course. Once he returns after attending the course from abroad, he would place an application for posting to his native city on compassionate grounds that his mother / father is ill or due to children and any other unavoidable circumstances so that he is not transferred to some hard area where that course could have been utilized. Sometimes, administration never thinks on these lines to post such officers on such slots after course.

On the other hand many scientists and specialists who were best serving their nation on some posts were posted to those slots about which they knew nothing and were not recruited for that.

These bureaucratic ways should be abolished now.
