ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has demoted former inspector general motorways Zafar Abbas Lak for issuing a felicitation advertisement on state expenses,Express News reported on Monday.

Lak was a Grade 21 officer and will now be downgraded to Grade 20.

The former IG had used around Rs1 million worth of public money on congratulatory advertisements after Nawaz was elected prime minister.

The prime minister had removed Lak from the post on June 12 over the same issue and had directed the concerned authorities to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him for wasting public money.

It was decided after the disciplinary proceedings that Lak will be demoted and the public money spent on advertisement will be deducted from his pension.

PM Nawaz had barred ministries and autonomous bodies from issuing such advertisements and warned that there would be action against those who violate his directions.

Good decision. Where are PTI trolls who damage the image of their party so much? Can they manage a grudging acknowledgement of an apt decision?
