Among other changes, proposed amendment to Pakistan Army Act 1952 would allow PM to extend officers’ careers through a notification.

With less than two weeks left for the retirement of General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the Pakistan government is seeking to amend an Act of 1952 to have greater authority over the appointment and retention of the Army chief, according to a media report on Wednesday.

While the date for picking the next Pakistan Army chief draws closer, the Shehbaz Sharif government is mulling amending the laws to have greater authority over the re-appointment of the army boss. Reportedly, the Sharif administration is willing to amend the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952 which will allow the prime minister to retain any candidate through a simple notification. Currently, the constitutional process is complex as well as tedious.
