Peshawar, The District Sports Office (DSO) in Peshawar is under fire for its reluctance to provide essential information about its activities in the year 2022, despite more than a month passing since the request was made.

 

Under the Right to Information Act, a journalist from Peshawar had formally requested the DSO Peshawar for details regarding tournaments organized in 2022, including the number of tournaments held and the participation statistics of players. Additionally, information was sought about the compensation provided to players under the transport and dinner Allowance (TADA).

 

Furthermore, the journalist had also requested information about the number of competitions conducted by the DSO Peshawar with the support of the district administration. This included details about the staff employed by the DSO Peshawar, their positions, and the salaries they receive.

 

The request, submitted on April 6, 2023, under the Right to Information Act, should have been addressed within fifteen days. However, the DSO Peshawar has failed to respond, causing frustration and concern.

 

In a separate application, inquiries were made about the number of permanent and temporary employees in the DSO Peshawar, along with their appointment dates. Additionally, the journalist questioned how many clubs and community sports clubs were visited by the DSO Peshawar in 2022 and how many of them were registered.

 

Furthermore, details regarding the events organized by the DSO Peshawar, including program specifics, dates, and costs, were also requested. Similarly, information about the salaries paid to the DSO Peshawar staff in the year 2022 was sought.

 

Despite submitting this request on May 4, the DSO Peshawar has failed to comply with the Right to Information Act, leaving the journalist and the public without access to crucial information about the district's sports activities.

 

The continued delay and lack of transparency from the DSO Peshawar have raised questions about accountability and responsible governance. It is essential for the authorities to address this matter promptly, provide the requested information, and uphold the principles of the Right to Information Act.

The circles related to sports have demanded an inquiry into the various contracts given in the sports sector during the PTI regime and have said that a transparent inquiry should be made into all the contracts given by the Provincial Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
