Irregularities and corruption has become routine business in Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) as the KMC administration is favouring its blue-eyed officials by giving them out-of-way promotions. According to details, a meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC)-I was held on June wherein a decision was taken to promote Syed Zia-ul-Islam Naqvi, presently working as an Assistant Librarian (BPS-07) in Culture, Sports and Recreational Department, KMC, to the post of Librarian in BPS-17, Pakistan Today has reliably learnt.
From 07 to 17 Grade promotion at once has raised many questions in the minds of many senior KMC officials who were deserving candidates and were waiting for their legal promotion for the last several years. Sources told Pakistan Today that only those officials were being facilitated with perks and promotions in KMC who are close to the administration. When contacted, KMC Senior Director Human Resources Management Najmuddin Sikander said the post of BPS 07 was not being upgraded as it was the post of BPS-12. According to the Council Resolution, Naqvi was promoted from BPS-12 to BPS-17. However, he failed to clarify the exceptional promotion of the assistant librarian.
