Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) internal accountability committee advised Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to delegate authority over high-level transfers, appointments, and promotions to a three-member committee of administrative secretaries.
According to details, the accountability body formally conveyed its recommendation through a letter, which committee member Musaddiq Abbasi was set to deliver to Gandapur.
The proposed committee included the establishment secretary alongside two other secretaries.
Chairman of the accountability committee, Qazi Muhammad Anwar, commented on past irregularities linked to official postings. “There have always been discussions regarding corruption in transfers, postings, and promotions,” he said.
The committee summoned provincial food minister Zahir Shah, who appeared before members Qazi Muhammad Anwar, Musaddiq Abbasi, and Shah Farman. During the session, the panel questioned Shah on wheat procurement in the province. The minister expressed a lack of knowledge regarding certain matters.
The committee emphasised the necessity for accountability. “As a minister, every question related to the department must be answered,” the panel stated. Shah received a deadline to submit detailed responses and appear before the committee again.
Anwar revealed that only five departments had provided records to the committee thus far. “All ministries have been given two weeks to submit their reports,” he confirmed.
