Practice What You Preach

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan criticises the rehiring of people in the bureaucracy who have reached superannuation:

"Why these retired officials are being appointed on contract in various departments instead of new recruitments...why not create opportunity for highly-educated people, instead of re-employing retired government officers."

And the next day's news:

'Veteran Supreme Court judge Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday will get a rare second extension as ad hoc judge following a proposal adopted at a full court meeting...the proposal also sought the appointment of Justice Rahmat Hussain Jafferi as an ad hoc judge, who had reached superannuation on Nov 22 last year.'
