KARACHI: The Sindh government on Tuesday said they would inv
estigate the news that as many as 48 members of a family had been employed in the Sindh Health Ministry.
The sheer number of appo
intments has led the Supreme Court to schedule a hearing into the matter today (Wednesday). The matter surfaced when a man filed a peti
tion complaining that the department had recruited some 48 cousin
s in Ghotki district.
“Since 2008 till recently more than four dozen members of Chadhar family have b
een appointed by the authorities,” said Farman Ali Pitafi, a Health Department employee.
