The timing of the appointments should raise concern since they have come in the last month of the government’s tenure. Stacking up PML-N loyalists in these positions does not forebode well for the future. Apparently, the attorney general was sidelined over these appointments. The attorney general is the head of all law officers and ought to know about the subordinate staff working in a department he effectively controls. It would be quite handy to have loyalists as law officers during the tenure of the caretaker government.
