Mystery Appointment: Questions Raised Over Additional Charge Given Before Official Joining in KP Sports Directorate

musarrat ullah jan -

 

In a controversial move, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Sports Directorate granted Mr. Shah Fazil (PPS) the additional charge of Director of Development on August 1, 2023, even though official records show he assumed his responsibilities in the directorate on August 2, 2023. This irregularity raises questions about procedural violations and governance issues within the Youth Affairs Department.

Details of the Events

  1. Order Issued on August 1, 2023: An official notification (No. DG/Sports/Admin/2023-24) was issued by the Director General of the Sports Directorate, assigning Mr. Fazil the additional charge.
  2. Joining Date: According to departmental records, Mr. Fazil officially joined the Sports Directorate on August 2, 2023, a day after the additional charge was granted.

Legal and Administrative Concerns

1. Overstepping of Authority

KP’s administrative appointment policies clearly state that only the Secretary of Sports has the authority to approve such decisions. However, in this case, the Director General of Sports bypassed these protocols, raising concerns about the misuse of authority and transparency in the department.

2. Discrepancy in Dates

Granting an additional charge before the person has officially assumed their post raises several red flags:

  • How can responsibilities be assigned to an individual who has not formally joined?
  • Was this decision influenced by external pressures or personal interests?

3. Lack of Transparency and Merit

The process of assigning additional responsibilities should include:

  • A transparent assessment of eligible candidates.
  • Proper approval from the competent authority.
    The absence of these elements in this case undermines public trust.

4. Conflict of Interest

Mr. Fazil’s additional charge, coupled with his existing responsibilities in other departments, risks operational inefficiencies and potential conflicts of interest. Holding multiple posts simultaneously also dilutes accountability.

Key Questions for the Department

  • Why was the additional charge granted before Mr. Fazil’s formal joining?
  • Under whose directive or recommendation was this decision made?
  • Was the Secretary of Sports consulted or bypassed?
  • What measures are being taken to prevent such irregularities in the future?

Impact on Governance

This case highlights procedural lapses and oversight deficiencies within KP’s Youth Affairs Department. Such actions not only damage the department’s reputation but also erode public confidence in government institutions.

To address these concerns, the provincial government must take immediate steps, including:

  1. Conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
  2. Reviewing the powers of the Director General to ensure compliance with official policies.
  3. Establishing transparent protocols for appointments and assignments.

Conclusion:
The assignment of additional responsibilities to Mr. Shah Fazil before his official joining exposes administrative lapses in the KP Sports Directorate. Immediate investigation and corrective measures are essential to uphold transparency and merit in provincial governance.

  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.
