Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday called upon the bureaucracy to stay away from politics and use its skills acquired during various trainings courses to address the problems of the people expeditiously.
Addressing the graduation ceremony of the 92nd National Management Course at the Presidency, Zardari asked the officers to stay away from politics, but make efforts to understand the dynamics of the country’s politics. The president congratulated the participants on successful completion of their respective courses, saying nation building required years of hard work and human resources. The president said, being a permanent institution of the state, the bureaucracy needed to demonstrate the will and the ability to manage change, while maintaining continuity in policy where it needed to be sustained.
He urged the participants to thoroughly analyse various issues concerning the nation and reflect why various governments failed to give due attention to the economy and issues like education, health, water management, energy security, poverty reduction and employment generation. The president also recounted the achievements of his government, including the success in the fight against terrorism, the 18th Amendment, the seventh NFC Award and the Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan package.
