The government has cancelled the contractual appointment of Ahmad Kaikaus as an alternative executive director of the World Bank head office in Washington.

The public administration ministry on Wednesday issued a gazette notification cancelling the remaining tenure of his contract.

The former principal secretary of the prime minister’s office (PMO) was appointed an alternative executive director of the World Bank on 7 December, 2022 for three years on a contractual basis.

He submitted an application to the government seeking cancellation of his appointment as an alternative executive director of the World Bank.

He is likely to be given a big responsibility in the government.
