He highlighted that matters have been finalized with the chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission and that it will be the first time in history that vacant CSS seats will be filled by a mid-term examination.
Previously, the unfulfilled seats remained vacant for the rest of the year and were added back to the provincial quotas for the next year.
