The Chief Minister directed to prepare a comprehensive design sketching out proper and uniform service structure for all government employees of all cadres serving in different departments that should be brought to the Cabinet and after clearing it from the Cabinet, the design would be referred to the Provincial Assembly for requisite legislation so that the issue is settled permanently.

During the meeting, the Chief Minister was briefed about the work so far done on the up-gradation of different government cadres posts, regularization of employees through NTS and others legal forums.

The Chief Minister directed for a comprehensive sketched out design, widening the chances of vertical mobility to all government employees of different cadres in public sector institutions, asking the Administrative Secretaries to prepare complete data to be part of the comprehensive uniform policy guidelines for legislation to settle this issue on permanent basis.

Pervez Khattak said data should be compiled at the forum of Secretaries Committee and must reach him within the shortest possible time.

Khattak said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government believed in justice to all and there should be no pick and choose in the process of delivering justice. He directed to examine the financial implications of the whole exercise.

The Chief Secretary would submit the gathered empirical data within a month clearing all dimensions and aspects meticulously.
