Sir: The Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) made a number of illegal appointments during a ban on jobs in 2011. These appointments were made without fulfilling legal formalities like advertising the posts in the media and conducting tests and interviews. These appointments were made purely on political grounds. As per law, all BPS-16 and above posts should be filled through the Public Service Commission but the SBCA has made direct recruitment, which is a violation of service rules and regulations.The SBCA has appointed overage employees having fake degrees. These employees are still working at the SBCA’s Hyderabad, Sukkur, Karachi and Nawabshah offices. The Supreme Court of Pakistan had already issued an order vide HRC No: 3282-S/2013 dated February 12, 2013 for the verification of their degrees. But no action has been taken against fake degree holders due to their political affiliations. In view of the above, I request the prime minister to intervene and set aside all illegal appointments.FAYAZ RAJPARVia Email mail
