"Leave it, this is Pakistan": Sports Directorate Mired in Inaction, Corruption, and Shame
Pakistan's sports scene faces a bleak future as the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate grapples with rampant apathy, corruption, and
illegal practices. This scathing exposé by employees details a system plagued
by:
Unfilled Positions: Vacant posts remain unfilled for eight
months, leaving crucial tasks unattended.
Unpaid Wages: Daily wage workers endure four-month delays in
salaries, met with dismissive remarks like "Leave it, this is
Pakistan."
Illegal Hostel Occupancy: Outsiders illegally reside in hostels,
racking up unpaid dues in the millions.
Electricity Theft: The directorate shamelessly steals
electricity, ignoring concerns with the same excuse.
Employee Misconduct: Government employees moonlight for
other departments, drawing further criticism and the same apathetic response.
Embezzlement of Funds: Officials allegedly misappropriate
Class IV employee wages, again brushing off concerns with the usual retort.
Missing Equipment: Boxing equipment vanishes from the
Hayatabad Sports Complex, eliciting only indifference.
Unofficial Residences: Employees construct an illegal
housing complex on government property, facing no repercussions.
Substandard Work: Concerns about substandard construction at
the hockey stadium are met with the dismissive phrase.
Mistreatment of Athletes: Athletes face mistreatment from
the directorate, with complaints falling on deaf ears.
Fake Training: Squash and cricket coaches reportedly use
one-on-one sessions for personal gain, receiving the usual apathetic response.
Illegal Recruitment: Allegations of illegal recruitment are
met with the now-infamous excuse, highlighting a broken system.
Exploitative Practices: Sports kits are allegedly sold at
inflated prices, and athletes are charged for using equipment at the cricket
academy, with concerns dismissed as expected.
The repeated dismissal of legitimate concerns with
"Leave it, this is Pakistan" reflects a deeply ingrained culture of
apathy and acceptance of corruption within the Sports Directorate. This
approach cripples progress, hinders athlete development, and ultimately damages
the future of sports in the region.
Immediate action is required to address these issues. The
government must investigate the allegations, hold perpetrators accountable, and
implement stricter transparency and accountability measures. Only then can the
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate regain its dignity and fulfill its vital
role in fostering Pakistan's sporting talent.
