ISLAMABAD: Former Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser allegedly recruited and promoted employees against the rules and regulations in the Parliament Secretariat during his tenure.
The sources said that the former NA Speaker hired and promoted over 200 employees in the Secretariat who hailed from his constituency.
Asad Qaiser got his brother-in-law Tahir Qadeem appointed temporarily in the KP Assembly as Grade-17 officer and then transferred him to Islamabad on deputation. Later, he permanently appointed his brother-in-law in the National Assembly, said the sources.
