Scores of employees of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Thursday staged a protest demonstration in front of the National Press Club (NPC) against the corrupt officers of the authority as they pressed their high-ups to eliminate corruption from the civic body. The protesters demanded a judicial inquiry against CDA Chairman Imtiaz Inayat Elahi and Shaukat Mohmand because of their illegal steps.
They also asked for investigation against the fake degree holders and allotment of lands to hundreds of illegal kiosks. The protesters, while holding banners inscribed with their demands, chanted slogans against the CDA bosses, illegal appointments and political interference in the organisational affairs, as they called for holding of referendum in the CDA. The protesters said the CDA employees’ children should be appointed in the authority.
The enraged workers demanded the government to dissolve the CDA board consisting of the corrupt members and form a new one, with the CDA employees as its members. They said all the promotions should be made while keeping in mind the seniority criterion. The employees asked the CDA authorities to send back the officials who had joined the body on deputation and to appoint the CDA employees on these posts.
