Federal Minister for Finance Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, federal Minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin, Secretary Finance Waqar Masood and Secretary Commerce Zafar Mahmood on behalf of the secretaries hailed the services of Salman Siddique at the Economic Coordination Committee’s meeting here on Friday.
The finance minister said it was a matter of satisfaction that Salman Siddique carried forward the reforms introduced by his predecessor Sohail Ahmad. Speaking on the occasion Salman Siddique thanked everyone and said every bureaucrat has to be positive in thinking.
On the advice of the prime minister the president will appoint the next FBR chairman. However till the regular appointment is made, senior most member Mahmod Alam will be the Acting Chairman FBR.
The government is under political and judicial pressure and under the prevailing circumstances it is likely that ANP leaders may be able to prevail and get appointed Aziz Bilour, the younger brother of Ghulam Ahmad Bilour and Bashir Bilour as FBR chairman. Currently Aziz Bilour is working as Secretary Industries.
If the FBR’s chairman appointment will be made from the Customs Service then the experienced and honest Senior Member Customs and an officer of BPS-22 Mumtaz Hyder Rizvi may be appointed as FBR chairman. A senior officer of District Management Group and Chief Secretary Punjab Nasir Mahmood Khosa is also being considered to be appointed as FBR chairman.
