ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) is falling a prey to nepotism and graft activities, as board’s current Director General Asif Zaman, who was appointed by the previous PTI government, is allegedly misusing his powers.

According to an official document by the PSB, cancellation of pension to hundreds of retired and on duty officers and employees of the board was planned in a most recent meeting.

All this is being done on the directions given by the current DG,.

Adding to this, DG Zaman is trying to grasp additional powers of board’s Principle Accounting Officer. Currently the Principle Secretary of Inter-provincial coordination is the Principle Accounting Officer of PSB.

Well placed sources told that these PSB Structure Service Rules were drafted during previous PTI government’s tenure. Proposal will be presented before PSB’s board’s next meeting for final approval, sources added.

On the other hand, retired and servicing employees of PSB are under dire stress amidst these proposals, and they have demanded PM Shehbaz Sharif and relative authorities to take notice of the matter.
