Aftab Ghulam Nabi Kazi S.Pk., S.K., was born in Sindh, Bombay Presidency, British India, on November 6, 1919. His father Khan Bahadur Ghulam Nabi Kazi was a veteran educationist of Sindh who had been bestowed with the honour of MBE. On the separation of Sindh from Bombay, Khan Bahadur Kazi was appointed the first Director of Public Instructions Sindh in 1936. His younger brother Justice Bashir Ghulam Nabi Kazi was a judge of the High Court of Sindh while his brother in law Ahmed Hussain A Kazi was a Secretary to the Government of Pakistan. His sister in law was married to another ICS officer the lateShaikh Nazrul Bakar who retired as Director General of Civil Aviation in 1959.
Education and academic career
Aftab Kazi obtained his Masters degree in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Bombay and competed in the Indian Civil Service examination. In the meanwhile he worked on the faculty of the D. J. Science College Karachi. In 1944 he was one of the three Muslims selected to the Indian Civil Service along with Agha Shahi and Mian Riazuddin Ahmed. Thus started a career that would last for half a century making him the longest serving civil servant in the history of Pakistan.
Civil service
A G N Kazi started his career as Deputy Commissioner in Bihar and Orissa but opted for Pakistan during the partition of India in 1947. He joined the Government of Sindh and held pivotal positions such as Secretary to Governor and Secretary Finance. Keeping with the traditions of all Commonwealth countries the most brilliant and efficient civil servants are assigned to the Ministry of Finance and Mr Kazi proved no exception to this rule.
Senior offices held
After the amalgamation of all provinces in the western wing of the country in 1955, he was appointed Finance Secretary of West Pakistan. In the early sixties he was posted as Economic Minister in the Pakistan Embassy in Washington DC USA where he served until 1965. On his return to Pakistan, he was appointed for a brief period as Additional Chief Secretary (Planning nd Development) West Pakistan and thereafter as Chairman of Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA). It was during his tenure as Chairman WAPDA that the Mangla Dam was inaugurated and on this occasion he was awarded the high civil award of Sitara-e-Pakistan. Previously he had also been awarded the Sitara-e-Khidmat. In 1969, he was appointed Secretary for Industries and Natural Resources and a year later as Finance Secretary of the Government of Pakistan. As Secretary Finance he succeeded eminent personalities such as Sir Victor Turner, Abdul Qadir, Mumtaz Hasan, Hafiz Abdul Majid, Mirza Muzaffar Ahmad and Ghulam Ishaq Khan who was subsequently President of Pakistan. He held this pivotal assignment of Finance Secretary of Pakistan during the unfortunate crisis of 1971. In this capacity, he was also Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (Pakistan).[1] In 1973, A G N Kazi was assigned the highest grade in the civil service and made Secretary General, Finance and Economic Coordination in which capacity he had to supervise the working of all the economic and planning ministries of the Government of Pakistan. He was appointed Advisor to the President on Economic Affairs in 1977 with the rank of a full Cabinet Minister on the imposition of martial law in July 1977.[2] Thereafter he was appointed Governor of State Bank of Pakistan in 1978.[3] He served in the latter capacity for eight years and this period was characterized by excellent financial discipline in the banking sector coupled with good relations with the federal government. During his tenure as Secretary General Finance, Kazi became involved in securing Pakistan's nuclear capability, along with Agha Shahi and Ghulam Ishaq Khan; the three constituting the coordination board to monitor the nuclear program. In 1986, he was appointed Deputy Chairman Planning Commission (Pakistan).,[4] in which position he remained until 1993 until his induction as the Chairman Privatization Commission. In 1993 he was again given the status of a Federal Minister as Chairman/Chief Executive of the Pakistan Investment Board.[5]
Retirement
In 1994, A G N Kazi finally retired after fifty long years of service and never took up any regular government assignment. He is a well respected figure in Pakistan's economic sector having remained at its helm for around three decades, and is well known for his efficiency, integrity and commitment. He currently resides in Islamabad. His wife Zakia passed away in 2009. He has two children Shahnaz Kazi and Sohail Kazi.
