KARACHI: The first irregular appointment has been made soon after the control of Sindh’s educational boards was transferred from the Chief Minister to the Provincial Ministry of Boards and Universities.
According to reports, Ahmed Khan Chhutto, Inspector of Institutions at the Larkana Board, has been transferred to the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) and appointed as Controller of Examinations, one of the most important positions in the board.
The appointment reportedly ignored merit and official rules, causing concern among employees of the Intermediate Board Karachi. Sources said that more transfers and appointments from interior Sindh to Karachi’s boards are expected in the coming days.

It is worth noting that when Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah held the authority over the educational boards, he appointed chairpersons for eight boards through a search committee on merit.
The Chief Minister had also finalized formal rules for appointing controllers of examinations, secretaries, and audit officers.
However, the authority was later taken away from him, and since then, off-policy appointments have reportedly begun in the boards.
