of Civilian Posts taken over by Army Officials
Special
SAT Report
ISLAMABAD: There can be numerous reasons why the Pakistan Army
Generals would not transfer power to the elected representatives
of the people of Pakistan. But one very obvious reason is the
civilian positions of authority now under their clutches.
SAT has received from a contributor a list of over 85 such key
positions where civilian experts, technocrats, academics, engineers,
doctors, media persons, diplomats, civil servants, administrators
and sportsmen should have been running the show, to the best of
their ability and for the maximum benefit for the country.
But all these positions have been filled by serving or retired
men in uniform; who already are either gainfully employed or have
retired with full pensions, benefits and perks and have been re-employed
depriving thousands of other more capable and deserving people.
This
list is besides those armed forces personnel who have commercialized
the names of their services and started business ventures like
Fauji Foundation, Bahria Housing and Shaheen Air Services etc.
Thousands
of others in lesser positions, who have been inducted under a
quota system, have not yet been counted. But their presence makes
it clear what stakes the army has developed in controlling the
political system of the country.
The corporate face of the army also enjoys the full facilities
and backing of the army establishment, whether their businesses
run into profits or losses.
The
85 key positions identified by our contributor are given under.
Some more additions have been made by our readers. A few corrections
have also been made:
