NCHD Chairman Col (retd) Amirullah Marwat sacked from his post

The National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) chairman, Colonel (retd) Amirullah Marwat, has been sacked from his post.

Acting President Sadiq Sanjrani approved the government’s summary to remove Col (retd) Marwat.

As reported, the coalition government had sent summaries twice to remove Chairman, however, President Arif Alvi, who is currently out of the country to perform Hajj, did not follow through on the advice.

In a summary sent to the acting president, the government quoted that the now-former NCHD chairman was using his office to fulfill his party’s political purposes.

Col (retd) also posted derogatory content against state institutions on social media, the summary added.

Amirullah Marwat was appointed in 2019 for a five-year term and was a member of the National Assembly after he won the elections on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) ticket.
