KP Sports Directorate Engineering Wing Refuses to Provide Information on Projects and Expenses
The Engineering Wing of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial
Sports Directorate has come under fire for refusing to provide information on
completed projects, expenses, and a potential conflict of interest.
A citizen filed a Right to Information request seeking
details on the number of projects completed by the Engineering Wing, projects
directly overseen by them, and their overall expenditure. However, the
Engineering Wing refused to disclose this information, claiming they are not
managed by the Sports Directorate but by the secretary.
Furthermore, the Engineering Wing directed inquiries about
expenses to the Directorate Works, raising concerns about a lack of
transparency.
Adding to the controversy, reports allege a senior official
on deputation awarded over twelve contracts to relatives. After this
information came to light, the official's deputation was terminated.
Sports circles in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have demanded a judicial inquiry by the FIA and Anti-Corruption department to ensure transparency and investigate the projects thoroughly.
