How good the news! We are waiting for that. During their tenure at PSC, they made it as a profit making industry as they widespreadly taking bribes. They destroyed their all moralities, ethics as well as their gained knowledge and wisdom. What the men they are? Many bright students in our country deprived from PSC’S lucrative jobs. On the other, many dull students got this by paying handsome money. The culprit PSC members and its chairman as a whole destroyed our administrative backbone. So, government should give them exemplary punishment by taking stern action and to ask them to submit their wealth statements soon.
