Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate Questions Raised Over Stationery Spending in Stalled Projects
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate faces scrutiny
over its handling of stationery expenses in two stalled projects initiated
during the previous PTI administration.
Documents obtained by relevant authorities reveal purchases
of office supplies totaling over Rs . 2 lakhs across a three-month period in
2023 for the "1000 Sports Facilities" project. These purchases,
detailed as follows, raise concerns:
August 15, 2023: Rs. 60,278
November 23, 2023: Rs. 62,142
December 19, 2023: Rs. 73,849
Adding to the confusion, a separate project – the
"Union Council" project – also saw a significant stationery purchase
of Rs. 1.84 lakhs on January 19, 2024. Notably, both projects are reportedly
stalled due to a lack of funds, with many contractors remaining unpaid.
The fact that substantial stationery purchases were made in
projects lacking active work raises questions about resource allocation and
spending priorities within the Sports Directorate. Furthermore, the use of the same office for
both projects warrants further investigation.
