After careful consideration and debate, government sources have disclosed that the federal government has finally formally approved his nomination for a three-year term.
A summary from the Ministry of Interior was distributed in order to approve this appointment. Recognizing the need of strong governance frameworks, the Federal Cabinet also approved the addition of Rule Seven A to the NADRA Rules 2020.
A noteworthy addition to the NADRA regulatory structure is Rule Seven A, which gives the government the authority to designate any official currently in service as NADRA Chairman in the best interests of the country.
