Federal Public Service Commission Clarifies News item

Islamabad: The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) through a press release clarified a news item appeared regarding functioning of the FPSC in the absence of its Chairman.

A very grim and contrary to the factual position has been narrated in the story. It suggests as if the functioning of the commission has stopped altogether, which is based on lack of information. It is clarified that the commission was established under FPSC Ordinance, 1977. It functions in accordance with the same ordinance. It is the commission that matters. Presently, eight members of the commission are performing their duties with devotion following highly structured procedures. The commission conducted CSS Examination - 2009 from April 25, 2009 to May 12, 2009 in 19 cities, having 59 centers with enrolment of 9046 candidates. It was a very successful conduct of examination and no untoward incident was reported from anywhere in the country.

Secondly, the interviews fixed by the commission are being conducted in all the provincial headquarters and federal capital as per schedule. Thirdly, in last week of June, 2009 the commission has scheduled a marathon examination comprising 36 cases with enrolment of 34046 candidates in 9 big cities of the country. Examination centers have been reserved, candidates have been issued admission cards and the supervisory staff has also been deputed. The FPSC is fully geared up to conduct the examination.

Against this backdrop, it is quite obvious that the story is based more on supposition and less on facts. The commission is fully functional and responsive to its functions and responsibilities, as under the law even if some vacancy is lying vacant, the commission keeps on functioning.

Ansar Abbasi adds: Three major facts included in my story are simply not touched by the FPSC clarification. These are 1) In the absence of chairman, the allocations for the CSS candidates are still awaited. 2) The nominations made by the committees against dozens of vacancies are also waiting for the new chairman to forward them to the concerned government departments; 3) Fresh appointments sought by the government departments also wait for the new chairman, who has to make committees of FPSC members for interviews of the candidates. In the absence of the chairman any of the above three functions could not be performed by any member or officials of the commission. The News
