Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday demoted former Inspector General Motorways Zafar Abbas Lak for issuing a felicitation advertisement on State expenses.
Lak, a grade-21-officer, will now be downgraded to grade 20.
The former IG had used one million rupees of public money on congratulatory advertisements after Nawaz was elected prime minister.
The prime minister had removed IG Motorways from the post on June 12 over the same issue and had directed the concerned authorities to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him for wasting public money.
It was decided after the disciplinary proceedings that Lak will be demoted and the public money spent on advertisement will be deducted from his pension.
PM Nawaz had barred ministries and autonomous bodies from issuing such advertisements and warned that there will be action against those who violate his directions.
A welcome move.
I doubt that Would only be such reason.
