The federal government has announced Lieutenant General Akhtar Nawaz Satti as the new Chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC), according to reliable sources. This appointment follows the president’s approval, which was granted based on a recommendation from the prime minister.
Lieutenant General Satti will step into his new role upon his retirement from the army. His appointment comes at a crucial time, as the FPSC chairman position has been vacant since August 2023. This vacancy has led to delays in the Central Selection Board’s meetings, impacting the scheduling and execution of important administrative decisions.
The FPSC, a key institution responsible for recruiting civil servants and overseeing the examination process, is expected to benefit from General Satti’s extensive experience and leadership.
