Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has stated that if the issue regarding the appointment of the executive director for Karachi’s Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) is not resolved by Monday, he will proceed with the appointment, even if it results in contempt of court.
During a media briefing in Karachi, Shah expressed frustration that Jinnah Hospital remains without a head after the court removed the previous executive director for being on deputation.
He mentioned that the case has been pending in court for one to two months.
“If the matter is not resolved by Monday, I will make the decision myself,” Shah said, adding that he is ready to face contempt charges.
He mentioned that the summary sent back to him includes three names, all currently on deputation, and pointed out that there is no officer above Grade 19 at Jinnah Hospital.
