After key changes for appointment of Shaukat Tarin as Minister for Finance and Dr Waqar Masood as SAPM on Finance and Revenue, it was expected that the bureaucratic changes were on the cards, but it was assumed that it would be done after the budget. However, the government preferred to do it just ahead of the upcoming budget.
Kamran Ali Afzal was replaced as Secretary Finance and appointed as Secretary Industries. Dr Muhammad Sohail Rajput, a Grade-22 officer of PAS, was posted out as Secretary Industries and appointed as Secretary Information Technology and Telecommunication Division.
Shoaib Siddiqi a BS-22 officer of PAS, was posted out as Secretary IT and Telecommunication Division and directed to report to Establishment Division.
