Why second federal officers to states

Why are so many top state government posts - state secretaries, state financial officers, datuk bandars, local authority presidents-still held by federal government officers?
Are not these posts to be filled by officers from the state civil service? I remember some such posts being held by federal government officers temporarily seconded to the state at one time. This was due to lack of experienced officers at state level with regards to specific skills. Now it appears that almost all the top state government posts are given to officers appointed by the federal government.
Why is this so? Are there not enough competent staff from the state civil service to occupy these chairs?
Of late there have been reported cases of disgruntlement by some of the heads of state governments about state public officers, some of them federal government appointees, not having carried out instructions. Is this because these officers refuse to follow the state head's directives and are waiting for "orders from above"?
It looks like the rakyat who have elected the people they want to head the state government,and for whom the public servant should be serving, are being short-changed thus hampering the afforts of those heads of state and thereby frustrating the rate payers,
I believe that there still exist state public services commissions responsible for the recruitment and appointmnt of state civil servants. With so many unemployed gradutes around why is it so difficult to recruit people people into the state civil service? What is the necessity for civil servants from the central government to occupy state officers' posts?
And one more things that does not seem to be right, why should government officers be seconded to private entities on a permanent basis just because the government has an interest in the establishment? cannot such such seconded appointments be rotated among officers in order that no government servant becomes too comfortable serving in the private sector, so much so that he or she starts taking too much personal interest, like acquring shares of the the company thereby creating a conflict interest? Instead of playing the role of a watchdog, officers have turned to be big, "successful" businessmen.
