Legal tweak to allow PM to retain army officers with stroke of pen

. . . .
So they don’t trust the army higher up to promote or demote junior officers?

Perfect recipe for politicising the army.

And to see the fugitive make these decisions. Anyone becomes a PM in the future, this is a double edged sword.

Just my opinion, maybe there is an ample supply of officers that are anti Sharifs and they want to retain whatever support that remains.
When did civilian control of military become a bad thing?

Also, if people do not have confidence in a nation's Parliament making laws to be signed by the President who is the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces, they should change the Constitution and get a different form of Government. You can't simultaneously support the Constitution and complain when things are done according to Constitution. If this Act is Unconstitutional, you can go to Supreme court to get it quashed.
 
. .
You raise good points.

The point is the Parliament is supreme and it’s leader, the Prime Minister, should be given powers to select his/her own cabinet and the service Chiefs.

The problem is when the PM or President is allowed to retain Officers who’re working under the Service Chiefs.

The person in power needs to be given full authority and with it accountability. If he/she is not performing their duty then they should be fired.

How can you hold one accountable when the PM is given a free hand to retain officers working under the Chief.

It is reminiscent of your boss giving you full authority but given free reigns to tamper with your subordinates. If something goes wrong, can you be held accountable.

The law is the law of necessity ...
The "law of necessity" is essentially another phrase for the "murder of merit and justice".
What do you think has got us here in the first place.

But there are also a lot of micro (even nano) managers. Position is CEO but wants to interfere in who the manager is hiring as his assistant. But if the Board of Directors like the CEO, he gets his way.

Bajwa must have put a gun on IK’s head to grant extension. after all, poor IK was born yesterday while Bajwa is cleverer than the desert fox.

No no, that's not what happened.

What really happened was that Bajwa's wife notified him of the extension, after seeing it on TV, and that is the first time he knew about the extension.

I am not saying this, Big B himself said so, in LUMS.

Looks like a gift from Bajwa to his colleagues. Bajwa's extension was *delayed* by IK last time, this will ensure so such scandal again.

So….when is the new chief coming or being announced. ???
Wtff is going on?!
