Criticism over firing of HE commission chair
The News International.
Dr Adil Najam, dean of the Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University in the United States, slammed the authorities on his removal and said Banuri was being “bullied out by pygmies” for trying to mend a broken system. He said that the ordinance will further wreck an already shattered system. “Petty personal interests and a vile malicious campaign proves again that the greatest enemy of system reform is the system itself,” he added.
There were reportedly widespread complaints against him, accusing him of running the HEC on an ad hoc basis. Dozens of consultants were recruited on hefty salaries of directors, some of whom were not only retired but also just graduates. Recently, the National Accountability Bureau had launched an investigation against him for corruption, irregularities, mismanagement and appointment of consultants.
