Press Release: Appointments without lawful authority

It has been revealed in a recent press report that the new Punjab Governor has appointed four advisers and two consultants soon after holding charge when he has no such constitutional authority. The Concerned Citizens Society of Pakistan (CCP) has expressed concern over this move as it shows the powers that be are engaged only in furthering their partisan interests paying two hoot to the people's sufferings. Inflation has already broken the back of the salaried class and millions of people in Pakistan do not have access to two meals a day. The bloated Federal Cabinet is already a heavy drain on public expenditures. As per the press report, these appointments by the Punjab Governor have been made without any lawful authority. Is this not a mockery of 10-point agenda put forward by PML-N that seeks to reduce government expenditures? The CCP demands that the terms and references of these new appointments be brought into public. Moreover, the concerned citizens urge the government authorities to reset their priorities and learn lessons from the tide of uprising in Arab world.
