"KP Sports Directorate Faces Transparency Questions Over Deputation and Vehicle Allocation"

musarrat ullah jan -

 

 

Peshawar , A recent response from the Directorate General of Sports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to an RTI query has raised several eyebrows about the management of deputationists and government resources. There are three major points here:

Number of Deputationists: It was requested to know how many officers are working under deputation in the Sports Directorate and their tenures. There is no clear detail of the total number of deputationists and the service they rendered to the operations of the department.

Requisition/Extension Orders: Although seven pages of requisition/extension orders have been annexed with this document, it did not clarify why such deputations were required or in line with the sports policy of the province.

 

Vehicle Deployment and Fuelling: According to the report,

Since 2023-October a Toyota Revo has been assigned to Project Director

The DD (GIS) two Suzuki Cultus cars since June 2020

AD (Development) Since January 2022 Suzuki Cultus vehicle.

"As per government ceiling," apparently it is claimed but, of course, details such as fuel expenditure or mileage remain unrevealed.

 

Lack of transparency in how resources are allocated and managed gives rise to serious questions. Why do vehicles go preferentially to officials rather than athletes? Are the allocated resources achieving the intended results of sports development in the province?

The issue also raises systematic inefficiencies, like delayed and non-existent audits and continuous interest in bureaucratic benefits rather than grassroot sports activities. In this regard, it becomes critical because sports infrastructure at grassroot level is one of the worst in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Questions for Responsibility

Why are deputees holding important positions under the Sports Directorate?

How have policies been framed ensuring such deputations facilitate athletes and the sports culture?

Are these expenses justified in the face of mounting concerns over mismanagement of resources in the province?

musarrat ullah jan -
  Constituencies associated with sports appealed to the caretaker chief minister including Governor Ghulam Ali to take notice. PESHAWAR ... 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. Similarly, the contracts given for the purchase of sports equipment, including the hockey grounds built in the 1000 sports facilities project, including the squash courts built in various colleges, should also be checked so that not only the element of transparency is brought out, they also made the contract in the form of color. Action should also be taken against the contractor because most of the projects taken only for their own benefit have become non-standard which the previous political rulers did not pay attention to. Due to this reason, the officials of sport...
