Shamsul
Qayyum, the managing director of the Bank of Khyber (BoK), has decided
to challenge in court an order by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government
which fired him.
The K-P finance department had issued a notice terminating Qayyum’s
services over a public spat he had with K-P Finance Minister,
Jamaate-Islami’s Muzaffar Said last year. The move came just 18 days
before Qayyum’s term as MD was set to expire.
Qayyum had published an advertisement in newspapers in April last
year against the Said, alleging that the finance minister indulged in
corruption, illegal appointments, and utilising the bank’s resources for
his party and interfering in the bank’s matters.
