ISLAMABAD – The Implementation Commission on the 18th Amendment Monday suffered another blow when the Rabbani-led commission missed another deadline of March 21 set for the second phase of devolution of five ministries to the federating units because of the procedural delays and lack of cooperation by the provinces and the Finance Ministry.
The commission, which held a meeting with Mian Raza Rabbani in the chair at the Cabinet Division, was informed by the provincial chief secretaries that the Ministry of Finance had taken notice of their reservations over the salary-payments to the contractual employees set to be handed over to the provinces along with the ministries.
