Jobless and educated youth had staged a noisy demonstration outside the Gwadar Press Club accusing the Ministers and officials of various department of auctioning all jobs to highest bidders, all non locals and none of them was from Gwadar as the people are poor and no money to buy a job. All Government jobs were sold in public knowing that no one dares to take action against the Ministers and officials.
The protesters specifically blamed the Provincial Forest Department where Minister was accused of directly selling the Government jobs to highest bidders. The Second Department is the Industrial Estates of Gwadar where more than 200 people were recruited and all sold to the highest bidders to given to their close relatives and political constituents. It is a serious allegation against the Government Ministers and their Department for indulging in massive corruption. On the one hand top Government leaders, from President of Pakistan to the Prime Minister, had assured the educated youth of Balochistan of suitable jobs. But on the contrary, all the jobs were sold and auctioned with complete impunity as the Government lacked the courage to take action against its strategic political allies at the time of election year. The protesters were carrying banners and posters condemning the corrupt Ministers and officials for their dare-devil corruption in public violating all rules and laws of the Government. For the past many years, were demanding that the powers of the Ministers should be curtailed drastically reducing their chances of massive corruption, including sale of Government jobs. The Cabinet should only oversee the performance of the Government and not dictate orders. It is true in case of Government spending on development so that there is no massive leakage of public money or public exchequer plundered by various means.
