Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday approved new rules for civil servants in the country in order to ensure transparent and effective internal accountability.

The Civil Servants, (E&D) Rules, 2020 will help in increasing efficiency and discipline.

To speed up the process, the tier of the authorized officer has been eliminated, leaving two tiers, the authority and inquiry officer or Committee. The new two-tier process is expected to resolve the issue of decisions regarding disciplinary proceedings at a lower level by having the authorized officer handing out minor penalties, without seeking approval of the 'Authority'.
