Acting President Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has said that honesty and commitment are the main elements for making progress and it is what the country needs.
He expressed these views while addressing the certificate distribution ceremony of 104th National Management Course and the 19th Senior Management Course at National School of Public Policy on Thursday.
He congratulated all course participants on successful completion of their courses and said that this was indeed a commendable achievement both in terms of personal respective carriers and collectively for the system. He also appreciated the efforts of the administration and the faculty of National School of Public Policy and the National Management College.
Ayaz Sadiq said that the country inherited an established civil service structure and a defined judicial system, but it unfortunately could not create a sustainable legislative service structure.
After three years of my speakership, today more than 17 universities in Pakistan were offering courses in parliamentary studies, he said, adding that National Assembly has established a legislative drafting Unit and was preparing young officials through national and international exposures.
“We have initiated a full-fledged in-house on-job training programme”, he said.
The Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Services has been linked with the prestigious institutions like yours and the National Defence University to work on developing an apt corps of parliamentary services.
“I voluntarily surrendered all hiring powers and now all inductions in the National Assembly were being made through Federal Public Service Commission”, he added. He said the promotion policy is focused on seniority-cum-fitness basis.
