ISLAMABAD:
Annoyed by the failure of ministries and divisions to appoint heads of 86 companies, the Cabinet Division has initiated an investigation into the matter.
Earlier in July 2019, the prime minister had given a three-month deadline for filling vacant positions in state-run companies. However, the Establishment Division recently informed Prime Minister Imran Khan that 21 ministries and divisions had failed to fill 86 seats, which once again irked the premier.
