Crisis Grips Sports Sector: Ghost Employees, Fake Deputations Plague Development

PESHAWAR, - A major corruption scandal has rocked the sports sector, with widespread reports of "ghost employees" and fraudulent deputations crippling development and draining public funds.

Sources within the Sports Directorate reveal that numerous employees, particularly those in Grade 4 positions, are absent from their primary duties, instead serving in other departments or performing personal tasks for high-ranking officials. These transfers, often termed "deputations," frequently lack proper authorization or documentation.

At the same time, "ghost employees" – individuals who exist only on paper – continue to draw salaries and benefits without ever reporting to work. This illegal practice is not only wasting valuable resources but also severely impeding the progress of sports initiatives across the region.

Experts warn that the ongoing corruption threatens the credibility of sports institutions and could undermine public trust in the government's ability to manage crucial sectors.

The scandal has sparked outrage among athletes and sports enthusiasts, who are demanding immediate action to address the systemic issues.

"This is a betrayal of the youth," said a local athlete, requesting anonymity. "The funds that should be used to train and support us are being siphoned off by these ghost employees. It's a slap in the face to every hardworking athlete."

The government has vowed to launch a full investigation into the matter and bring those responsible to justice. However, critics argue that systemic reforms are needed to prevent such abuses from happening in the future.

Implementing regular and thorough verification of all government employees. Digitizing employee records for improved attendance tracking and accountability. Enacting and enforcing stricter laws against fraudulent deputations.  Establishing a robust legal framework to ensure swift and severe punishment for those involved in corruption. The future of sports development in the region hangs in the balance, as stakeholders await concrete action from the authorities.

The issue of ghost employees and fake deputations in the sports sector is a grave concern with far-reaching consequences. It not only leads to financial losses but also undermines the health and development of the youth. By understanding the root causes of this problem and implementing effective measures, we can safeguard the future of sports and ensure that resources are used to promote the growth of genuine athletes.
