Pakistan PM lifts ban on recruitment for govt jobs


ISLAMABAD(Azhar Farooque): Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in an order on Tuesday has lifted countrywide ban on recruitment for government jobs.


Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani earlier ordered dissolution of the Task Force on Employment "to ensure merit and transparency and in line with government's desire for good governance," a PM House official said.


The Task Force on Employment for overseeing and coordinating the recruitment in various ministries, attached department, autonomous and semi autonomous bodies of the government, was set up to create self employment opportunities and other schemes.


The decision for immediate dissolution of the task force is aimed at countering corruption and nepotism and will lead to making the ministers more effective and responsible, the PM House official said.
