Sindh Govt Gives Home Minister Powers to Post Senior Police Officials
The Sindh government, through a notification, said that the decisions regarding posting and transfers of senior police officers will be taken by the Services, General Administration and Coordination Department of the provincial government after taking approval from Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal.
With this recently issued notification, the Sindh government null and void its earlier notification issued last week, dated June 30, 2017. As per previous notification, the chief secretary was supposed to issue such orders of transfers and postings of the SSPs and SPs with approval of the Sindh chief minister but now such notification has been cancelled or withdrawn to empower the Sindh home minister.
The latest notification has been issued with the approval of Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. The order is issued in accordance with Rule-7(ii) of the Sindh Government Rules of Business, 1986.
This decision came after days of taking away powers of transfers and postings of SPs and SSPs from inspector general of police Sindh, A.D. Khowaja amid tussle between the political elites belonging to the ruling PPP and the police chief.
