ISLAMABAD: The inquiry committee of the health ministry has declared appointment and promotion of the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan’s (DRAP) chief executive officer, Asim Rauf, illegal.

According to details, the report was made public today (Thursday) and was submitted to the secretary of the health ministry. In the report, the committee has also advised appointing the CEO and 13 directors of the authority as per the rules and regulations.

The report termed the promotions of DRAP chief and two other employees as illegal. It further stated that his appointment as the authority’s chief was a violation of the DRAP Act, 2012. It also advised to conduct a forensic investigation of the video related to allegedly disposing DRAP’s record.

The inquiry committee recommended revoking his appointment as well as the order leading to his and other employees’ promotions.

In the letters written to the premier and the NAB, the complaints stated that there was no post of the additional director as per the DRAP service rules. The complainants also said that the service regulations were released without the approval of the departments concerned at the behest of the then health minister Saira Afzal Tarar.

They said that when the Establishment Division sought record of Asim Rauf’s illegal promotion, the matter was brushed under the carpet due to the pressure exerted by Tarar.

Subsequently, complainants added, Rauf continued to enjoy the perks of the director’s post. Later on, Rauf was appointed as director and CEO DRAP, while he already held the post of additional director DRAP Lahore.

There were 13 allegations levelled against Asim Rauf. The health ministry had constituted the committee to probe complaints received by the prime minister and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against Rauf.
