Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has constituted a new committee to refine and finalize proposals aimed at overhauling the country’s civil service structure.
The decision follows the presentation of final reform recommendations by the planning ministry on Thursday, reported Express Tribune.
The Prime Minister reviewed the proposals, which focused on recruitment, training, institutional capacity, specialization, and monetary incentives.
They also discussed whether to retain the current structure of the civil service or adopt a pyramid structure similar to the military’s, where only a small percentage rise to top ranks. According to the planning ministry, 100 percent of military officers reach the rank of Major, but only 5 percent become Major General.
Participants also supported cluster-based recruitment across three streams: general, financial, and information groups.
The prime minister directed that the final set of recommendations be submitted within one month. These should include merit-based recruitment, modern technology integration for capacity building, and citizen-focused reforms to improve public service.
