The UPNL has a history of giving appointments which have racked controversy on many occasions in the past. The purpose of UPNL was to serve the retired armed forces personnel and progeny of the serving and armed forces personnel but its history is replete with incidences where the appointments in gross violation of norms were given to those connected closely with high and mighty.
The modus operandi of these appointments is simple; the department where the appointment is needed to be made sends a requirement to the UPNL which in turns asks the department to send the name which it thinks is suitable for the job and the candidate is rewarded with job in a clandestine manner.
