ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Atta ullah Tarar has said that there is a complete absence of governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with corruption and malpractice reaching unprecedented levels.
In a post on his X account he said that lavish, royal-like expenses are being incurred, public funds are being ruthlessly spent on political agendas.
خیبر پختونخوا میں گورننس نام کی چیز نہیں۔ کرپشن اور بد عنوانی عروج پر ہیں۔ شاہانہ اخراجات کیے جا رہے ہیں اور سیاست پر عوامی پیسہ خرچ کیا جا رہا ہے۔ کابینہ کی تعداد بڑھا دی گئی ہے، نا اہلی کے علاوہ اِن وزراء اور مشیران کے انتخاب کا کوئی اور معیار نہیں۔ کیا کابینہ کی تعداد بڑھانے…

The size of the cabinet has been expanded, yet these ministers and advisors seem to have been selected based on sheer incompetence rather than any merit.
Will expanding the cabinet suddenly fix a governance system that could not be improved over the last 12-plus years? The administrative affairs of the province have never been in such a dismal state.
