PKSF Chairman and former Finance Secretary Zakir Ahmed Khan said, working in bureaucracy is a very difficult thing. Politics is easy but bureaucracy is difficult. A lot of thinking is required here. Government officials do not want to be suspended; they want promotion, they want to do jobs and they do not want to get bad postings.
