Karachi, April 15, 2019 (PPI-OT): Apropos the recently published KPT RECRUITMENT ads in Daily DAWN and Daily JANG on 10th April, 2019, a section of print, electronic and social media raised concerns about absence of quota for urban Sindh, particularly Karachi. It is stated that Karachi Port Trust being a federal government entity has to adhere to the federal government allocated quota rules for the recruitment of personnel against the requisite vacancies. The approved quota of Sindh Province vide federal government directive issued by Establishment Division is 19%.
Forty percent (40%) of this 19% Sindh quota is for Sindh Urban and 60% is for Sindh Rural. Presently Sindh Urban employees’ strength that exists in KPT is 3269 employees out of 4155 (as against 789 sanctioned quota share). Concerns are frequently raised by honourable members of National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan regarding non representation of different regions as per the approved quota, while making recruitments in KPT.
The existing disparity and anomaly in adherence of government allocated quota at KPT also gets frequently raised by various other stakeholders including committees of National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan. Therefore, KPT in light of federal government directives on the subject issue, advertised the vacancies keeping in view the short falls of various federation units/provinces. As per directives of the federal government policy, KPT as a federal entity has to follow the same in letter and spirit.
