Private NGOs and Federations Run by Government Coaches Undermine Sports Institutions

musarrat ullah jan -

 

Peshawar – Several coaches and officials affiliated with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate are allegedly misusing their official positions, resources, and authority to operate personal NGOs and self-styled sports federations. These practices are not only harming the integrity of sports institutions but also constitute blatant violations of government service rules.

According to credible sources, some coaches are using government sports complexes and coaching centers to conduct programs under the banner of their private NGOs. Equipment and donations meant for athletes are reportedly diverted — in some cases, sold — instead of being distributed to deserving players.

There are also instances where government coaches have appointed their family members to leadership roles in their unofficial federations. These appointments are then allegedly used to seek benefits from governmental or foreign organizations.

Such practices raise serious ethical and legal concerns, including violations of the following regulations:

🛑 Violations of Government Servants Conduct Rules, 1964:

Rule 4: Prohibits use of official position for personal gain

Rule 12: Bars public servants from associating with private organizations without prior approval

Rule 13: Declares personal use of government property or resources as misconduct

⚖️ Actionable Under Efficiency & Discipline Rules:

If proven, such actions can result in:

Show-cause notices

Departmental inquiries

Suspension or dismissal from service

Demotion or financial penalties

🔍 Nepotism and Misuse of Authority:

Appointing relatives in unofficial sports bodies while leveraging one’s government role may be treated as corruption under anti-nepotism provisions, making individuals liable to investigation by the Anti-Corruption Establishment or Ombudsman Office.

In some reported cases, videos of female and differently-abled athletes, filmed at government-run facilities, were used in promotional materials by NGOs without proper consent — a serious breach of privacy and ethics.

Athletes, coaches, and sports stakeholders across the province are calling on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to take urgent notice of the issue. They demand a transparent inquiry and strict punitive action against those exploiting the name of sports for personal benefit.

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.
