Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah expressed his serious displeasure and dismay and ordered the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) to conduct inquiries into bogus recruitments made in police department, unjust distribution investigation funds and alleged involvement of some police officers in heinous crimes.
A statement issued on Friday from the CM House said that the chief minister had expressed his displeasure over recruitments in police department. “We had approved recruitment against 9,000 vacant positions on district level for which a selection committee was constituted,” he said and questioned how over and above 9,000 recruitments were made. “I would not tolerate this kind of attitude and misuse of powers,” he said.
The chief minister directed Chief Secretary Siddique Memon to have over this inquiry to the anti-corruption with the directives to report within two weeks. “I had also handed over this inquiry to Chief Minister Inspection Team (CMIT) and the report is still awaiting,” he said, and directed the chief secretary to “let the CMIT inquiry continue in its own way but get me done it through ACE as well,” he said.
Talking about misappropriation or unjust distribution of funds meant for investigation, the chief minister said he had approved the release investigation funds so that investigations could be made properly. “Why this kind of negligence and irresponsible attitude is being demonstrated in such serious issues?” the chief minister asked. He directed the chief secretary to send this matter to the anti-corruption with the direction to submit its detailed report and also fix the responsibility against the officer(s) involved in the scam. “I would not spare such officers,” he said categorically.
Qaim Ali Shah took serious notice of the reports that some police officers carried patchy record. “They are meant to protect life and property of people but they have indulged in criminal activities,” he wondered, and added that the police department must be purged of such officers.
He directed the chief secretary to send inquiry of police officers involved in criminal activities to the anti-corruption and “send me the report submitted in Supreme Court of Pakistan for necessary action.” He directed the chief secretary to personally examine the report and give him his recommendation.
