Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate’s Open Court Exposes Administrative Failures and RTI Silence

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Peshawar – In what was supposed to be a transparent exercise in public accountability, the Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa held an e-court session under the directive of the Chief Minister. Nearly fifty citizens attended, while many more watched live online. High-ranking officials, including the Sports Advisor, Secretary of Sports, DG Sports, Director Youth, and Director Works, were present to field questions. However, the session revealed a disturbing pattern: when it came to Right to Information (RTI) requests and resource allocations, the Directorate chose silence over clarity. The e-court session was meant to be a platform for athletes, youth, and citizens to raise pressing concerns about staffing shortages, infrastructure failures, and administrative lapses. But what emerged instead was a narrative of inconsistency, negligence, and bureaucratic opacity that undermines public trust. The Hassan Khel Stadium, launche...

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Peshawar: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Peshawar Zone’s Anti-Human Trafficking Circle has launched an investigation into the Pakistan Kyokushin Karate Team’s recent Moscow trip, following allegations that the team may have included migrants to facilitate illegal migration to Europe.

The Ghost Gear of KP: How a merged Sports Directorate Lost the Plot

musarrat ullah jan -
    Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator In what plays out like a dark comedy written by a bored clerk, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) merged Sports Directorate has managed to turn sports development into a disappearing act. We’re talking about a scandal involving "expired" shoes, cricket bats found in trash heaps, and high-end bicycles that seem to have vanished into thin air.It’s easy to laugh at the absurdity, but for the tribal youth waiting for a fair shot at a game, this isn't a joke—it’s a betrayal. The Directorate’s defense for stashing cricket gear in piles of refuse? "It was old." Let’s be real: cricket balls don't have a "best before" date like a carton of milk. If the gear was genuinely unusable, there should be a paper trail—purchase dates, damage reports, disposal logs. Instead, we found equipment dumped like junk. When you treat the tools of a young athlete’s dream as literal garbage, you’re telling them exactly how much...

musarrat ullah jan -
    Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Cricket fans in Peshawar have a reason to celebrate: the National T20 Tournament is officially returning to Imran Khan Cricket Stadium! Yes, the very stadium that once electrified the city with the thrill of high-stakes cricket will now host this year’s national T20 matches.

The administration claims that Imran Khan Stadium has top-notch facilities suitable for both players an...

World T20 Failure: Players Fined, Officials Silent

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan  , KikxNow , Digital Creator The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly fined players 5 million PKR over the national team’s poor performance in the World T20. While this decision has once again put the spotlight on the players’ performance, it raises a fundamental issue: punishing only the players does not solve the problem—it addresses just a small part of it. The first question that arises is: what accountability exists for those who select players and make strategic decisions? Are players alone responsible for underperformance, or do the selectors and management, whose policies and choices directly affect the team, share equal responsibility? In reality, players merely play the game; it is the decision-makers who shape the team’s performance. If a team consistently fails, the blame must also extend to the administration, coaching, and selection criteria. Second, what about those who mismanage players? In cricket, it is common for a player’s ...

Seven Months of Silence: What the KP Sports Directorate’s RTI Evasion Reveals About Governance, Secrecy and Public Money

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator In any functioning democracy, the right to information is not a courtesy. It is a mechanism of control. It allows citizens to audit power without occupying office. It forces institutions to justify expenditure, explain decisions and maintain records that can withstand scrutiny. When that mechanism is obstructed, the issue is never procedural. It is structural. On 4 July 2025, a formal request was submitted to the Public Information Officer of the Directorate of Sports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the KP Right to Information Act 2013. The request was neither complicated nor politically explosive. It asked for data that any organized department should be able to produce within days: the number of CCTV cameras installed at Peshawar Sports Complex, their operational status, installation dates, maintenance costs and vendor details. It also sought information on computers in use at the Directorate, their procurement history, functional st...

Pakistan Taekwondo in Crisis: Tribunal Verdict Exposes Governance Failures, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Hit Hardest

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Pakistan’s taekwondo structure is once again mired in administrative conflict, legal challenges, and provincial inequities. The recent tribunal verdict directing the Pakistan Sports Board to grant affiliation to the Balochistan Taekwondo Association and declaring the January 2026 elections of the Pakistan Taekwondo Federation unlawful has exposed deep structural flaws in the sport’s governance. The directive nullifying all decisions taken after January 1 has further intensified the crisis, casting doubt over selections, training camps, and national representation carried out during this period. This is not merely a provincial dispute. It is a systemic failure that raises serious questions about sports governance in Pakistan. If federation elections themselves violate rules, then every decision taken under that leadership becomes ethically and legally questionable. As usual, the primary victims are the athletes. Khyber Pakhtunkh...
