The postings, as well as nominations to high-ranking positions, would be subject to clearance by the military’s intelligence branch.

Because it has been designated as a special vetting agency, the ISI will screen candidates for senior positions. According to reports, the move comes as the government prepares to make key announcements about high-level bureaucrat appointments.
