The government formed the parliamentary committee to probe into the irregularities in the promotion and recruitment in the National Telecommunication. The committee asked for the complete record of the promotion and appointments of the officers in NTC as the questions were raised on the illegal appointments and the promotions of the officers.

The sub-committee of National Assembly standing committee on the information technology and telecommunication held a meeting with Amjad Ali Khan to discuss and investigate the illegal induction of the officers in NTC.

Aisha Syed is a an MNA and she said that NTC  can appoint and promote the staff till the 16 grade or below and if they appoint the officer in scale 17 or above, then it will be illegal as NTC has no vested powers for the recruitment and promotion of the staff. According to the Act, necessary approval from the Prime Minister is required to meet the legal implications. She read the notification according to which the department can appoint or promote the staff below the scale 17.

Viqar Rashid Khan is the chairman of NTC and he waived off the impression of the irregularities, which are being occurred in the department. He added that the categories of the employees are not specified in the act of NTC and there are no irregularities in the procedure are reported.

Chairman said that for the appointment of the staff and officers in NTC, no approval of Prime Minister is required to get, except for the appointment of the head of the department. He quoted his own precedence and said that Prime Minister has made his own appointment under the provision of the Act.

Convener of the committee issued necessary directions to NTC for the provision of complete record of the appointment and promotion from 2010 in the next meeting over this issue.

The committee made the decision that they should approach to the Ministry of Law for the clarification of the word ‘Staff’ to carry on their investigation.
