Naqvi pledges ‘merit over politics’ in FIA hiring
المصدر: Dawn | Source: DawnISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Friday vowed to keep political influence out of more than 1,300 new appointments in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), two weeks after the country’s premier probe body advertised its largest hiring drive in years.
During a visit to FIA headquarters, Naqvi said “merit and transparency must be ensured at all costs” in the recruitment process.
His remarks came three days before the deadline for submitting online applications.
The promise of a merit-based process addresses a persistent concern for the FIA, which handles immigration, cybercrime, human trafficking and financial fraud cases.
The recruitment covers posts including assistant (BS-15), sub-inspector (BS-14), stenotypist (BS-14), upper division clerk (BS-13), lower division clerk (BS-11), assistant sub-inspector (BS-09), constable (BS-05), and drivers.
