ISLAMABAD: The federal government has made it mandatory for the nominees of the Board of Directors (BoDs) of State-Owned Entities (SOEs) to undergo clearance from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The Cabinet Division, in a communication with various ministries and divisions, has shared the decision of the Federal Cabinet dated July 10, 2024. The Cabinet had directed all ministries and divisions to fill vacancies on incomplete and dysfunctional boards of SOEs, statutory bodies, and similar organizations, ensuring the boards are made functional.

In this regard, the Cabinet Division has further stated that background checks on nominees for these boards must be conducted by both the Intelligence Bureau and the Inter-Services Intelligence before presenting the cases to the Cabinet.
