Fawad Hassan Fawad added to federal cabinet

President Arif Alvi had approved the appointment of former bureaucrat Fawad Hassan Fawad as a federal minister in the interim cabinet.

The appointment was made under Article 224-1(a) on the advice of caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar.

The announcement of Fawad’s portfolio is yet to be made.

Fawad last served as the director general of the Civil Services Academy and principal secretary to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He also served as implementation secretary to former Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

He was accused of holding assets beyond means by the National Accountability Bureau but was eventually acquitted in February 2023.
