Hiring of ex-PM's son-in-law declared illegal
2013-04-03
What on earth is the point of being an oligarch in one of the most corrupt countries on earth if one can't get one's kid in a position to increase the rake-off?
[Dawn] The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday declared illegal the appointment of former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf's son-in-law in an investment company jointly owned by the governments of Pakistain and China.

The court on March 29 had also cancelled the contract for the construction of roads in the constituency of the former premier because it was awarded to the National Logistics Cell (NLC) in violation of the procurement rules.

Chief Justice Mohammad Anwar Khan Kasi of the IHC on Monday held that the notification issued for the appointment of Shahnawaz Mehmood, the son-in-law of Mr Ashraf, was illegal and unlawful.

The federal government on March 4 had issued the notification for the appointment of Mr Shahnawaz as the deputy managing director of the Pak-China Investment Company (PCICL).
