"Sports Directorate KP: Office Space Shortage Sparks Controversy Amid Project Mismanagement"

musarrat ullah jan -

 

The Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a pivotal government department tasked with promoting sports and physical activities, finds itself in a dire space shortage crisis. With a significant role in fostering athletic development, the Directorate is now forced to share its already limited office space with staff from other projects, leading to operational inefficiencies and concerns over resource allocation.

The controversy stems from the Project Director's decision to rent office space within the Directorate's premises to accommodate staff from two major development projects: the Kohat Development Authority and the "1,000 Sports Facilities Project." For the past four months, the second floor of the Provincial Sports Directorate in Peshawar has served as a makeshift workspace for both projects, alongside the Sports Directorate for merged districts. However, this arrangement has displaced many employees, leaving them unable to work effectively due to the lack of adequate facilities.

Despite repeated attempts to obtain a response from the Director General, no official clarification has been provided, further fueling suspicions about transparency and the efficient use of government resources. The silence raises questions about the management's priorities and its commitment to addressing critical operational issues.

This situation severely impacts the Directorate's ability to oversee and implement sports development programs across the province. With two distinct projects operating from the same location, the risk of mismanagement and inefficiency looms large. Employees describe the environment as chaotic, with officials from the merged districts feeling like "guests" in their own department.

The provincial government must take urgent steps to address this crisis. Allocating proper office space and ensuring the availability of necessary resources is critical for the Directorate to effectively fulfill its mission. Without immediate action, the development of sports in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may suffer, undermining the province's potential to nurture talent and promote healthy lifestyles.

It is high time for authorities to prioritize the needs of the Sports Directorate and focus on sustainable solutions to support the growth of sports in the region.

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.
