…but the real chamcha Saleem Altaf and other power hungry people are still there.
It would be interesting to know how much was the total annual expenditure on those 80 employees in terms of salary, benefits etc. and then compare that amount with the salary and benefits enjoyed by Saleem Altaf and one or two others, that would be a nice comparison…
As usu. the axe has fallen on lower grade staff who had very little or nothing to do with the actual administration and decision-making within PCB.

Surprisingly, the board announced its drastic decision at a press conference without even informing the affected employees. That caused a panic among all low-grade employees but they were instructed to stay away from PCB main offices and await the final list to get released.
“The decision has not been taken to reduce the expenditures, but to appoint right man for the right job,” said the newly appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) Shafqat Hussain Naghmi at the hurriedly arranged press conference. He was flanked by board’s director marketing and media, Dr Ahsan Hameed Malik.
The 11 high officials sacked on Monday are Col Mohammad Pervez (General Manager Special Task), Nazir Ahmed (Executive), Major J.A Khan Manj (GM Administration), Major Ahmed Anwar (Manager Archives, Museum and Library), Yar Mohammad Solangi (Project Supervisor), Khalil-ur-Rehman (Assistant Incharge Works), Ansar Ahmed (Incharge Academy/Net Area), Razaullah Khan (Coordinator Cricket Operations), Mahmood Abdullah (Executive), Naveed Iqbal Cheema, Raza Ahmed Khan (Coordinator Islamabad Cricket Stadium

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has retrenched 80 employees from its current setup as it begins a major re-organisation of its management structure.
A statement released by the board said that the affected employees belong to various categories including contractual, permanent and daily-waged through all management levels. They have been awarded severance pay as a result.
The decision for the re-organisation was taken by the new board administration in October last year and the audit was assigned to Ferguson Associates on November 1. The firm completed an HR and management audit which was then presented to, and approved by, the ad hoc committee.
In light of the recommendations, the committee will now formulate and implement employers’ service rules 2007 as well as putting in place a new management structure.
Rationalising certain positions at various management levels to meet the requirements of the board was also recommended. The reasons behind the lay-offs were, according to the statement, because staff qualifications and skill-sets did not match the relevant requirements of their positions.
Ferguson Associates were handed the job to “restructure the Board along corporate lines” while ensuring good governance. It conducted the audit through a job-by-job analysis while comparing PCB’s existing structure with the Australian and South African boards.
