Ms. Shaista Bano Gillani has taken charge as the Chairperson of the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP).
The Finance Division on Monday issued a notification after the federal cabinet approved the appointment of Ms. Shaista Bano as the Chairperson CCP on an acting charge basis.
The appointment of a new chairperson was made due to dismissal of the outgoing chairperson Vadiyya Khalil by Islamabad High Court (IHC) along with two other members of the commission.
The federal cabinet had dismissed Khalil and the two members of CCP due to accusations for nepotism and corruption in 2018 but they were reinstated by the court. Later, the federal government had filed an intra-court appeal against the decision of the single bench of the high court, which was sustained.
