The Supreme Court of Pakistan judge, Justice Jamal Mandokhail, has noticed that although the government should move at the speed of a cheetah, it continues instead at the pace of a turtle.

He made the comments during a Supreme Court hearing on the creation of the climate change authority, Express News reported.

The case heard by a five-member constitutional bench led by Justice Ameen-out-Din Khan focused on the formation of the climate change authority.

Justice Mandokhail emphasized that climate change is a critical question and the government must accelerate its efforts.

The additional legal lawyer informed the court that a third commercial had been issued for the appointment of the authority of the authority.

Justice Mandokhail questioned why the first two advertisements had failed to give results.

The extra law lawyer explained that the top candidate’s dual nationality had disqualified him in accordance with the government’s policy of senior appointments.

Justice Mandokhail suggested that compromises could be needed to find the right candidate and add that the real challenge lies in how the authority will work in the provinces.

The extra law lawyer replied that the provinces had already nominated members of the authority.

Justice Ameen-out-Din added that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa had nominated Faisal Amin, the brother of the provincial chief minister, while Balochistan had appointed a university result.

Justice Mandokhail questioned the expertise of the Balochistan -appointed and said they lacked the relevant experience.

The extra legal lawyer assured that they would contact the provinces to nominate technocrats instead. He also confirmed that the draft rules for the authority were ready and would be sent to the law for approval.

Justice Mandokhail expressed frustration that despite the law passed in 2017, the chairman has not been appointed and the rules have not been completed. He also questioned the process of appointing environmental agencies in the provinces.

Secretary of Climate Change, Zulfiqar Younis, stated the court that 752 applications had been received in the previous round.

Justice Mandokhail asked why the other two candidates on the list were not considered as the secretary replied that they did not meet the required standards.

The petitioner’s lawyer, Mian Samiuddin, claimed that this case is about fundamental rights and expressed concern about the difficulty of finding an appropriate Pakistani expert. He noted that the climate change authority has been inactive since 2017.

The court postponed the hearing for a month.
