The process of verification of federal government employees’ academic degrees is moving at a snail’s pace and the authorities concerned are yet to receive thousands of the degrees. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had ordered the verification of academic qualifications of all federal government in February and directed the Establishment Division to verify the educational degrees and certificates from the heads of respective institutions.
The prime minister had also expressed a desire that the Federal Public Service Commission should ensure authenticity of degrees and certificates of the candidates who appeared in exams for being selected for government service. A source in the Establishment Division told Pakistan Today on Saturday that the verification was underway, however, the “huge task” would take some time to complete.
