ISLAMABAD:
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) board of directors has turned down reports of intelligence agencies and has recommended the same candidates for appointment as head of the public utility.
Earlier, the Prime Minister’s Office had sought report of intelligence agencies on the credentials and financial integrity of existing SNGPL Acting Managing Director Amer Tufail and SNGPL General Manager Sohail Gulzar.
Negative reports had revealed issues of nepotism and financial integrity of these two officials respectively. The PM Office also asked the Petroleum Division in January this year to revisit the proposal and called for removing the current managing director from office. In a recent development, the Petroleum Division moved a summary to the cabinet for consideration in its meeting scheduled for Tuesday (today).
