"In the NDS or the military it should be really difficult to get a
promotion, you shouldn't get it overnight. You must work hard. But in
the NDS someone will join today and tomorrow he will be a major. They
just make fake papers and everything. Even if the guy is illiterate, he
will become a major in the NDS," says a former NDS officer who asked to
be referred to as Gul Kaka because he is not authorized to speak with
the media. "If they become higher ranking, they get more power, money,
cars, and everything. They are misusing this."
NDS officials say that the leadership is aware of the problems and is
taking steps to create a more diverse staff. Even those who have voiced
complaints, say that there are signs of progress, but add that it will
take time.
