Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – A severe breach of the Right to Information (RTI) Act 2013, a transparency law in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has come to light. The District Sports Officer (DSO) Kohat attempted to mislead the public by providing a false response to a citizen's information request.

The citizen had filed an RTI application seeking a list of daily-wage employees working at the DSO Kohat's office. After a significant delay, the DSO issued a written reply, stating, "There are no daily-wage employees appointed in our office." This claim, however, turned out to be entirely false.

Just yesterday, an official list released by the Sports Directorate Khyber Pakhtunkhwa revealed the names of two daily-wage employees who are indeed working in the DSO Kohat's office. This revelation is not merely a case of negligence but a deliberate attempt to conceal public information – a criminal offense under the law.

The RTI law mandates the accurate, complete, and timely provision of information. Providing false information is a punishable offense. This act raises serious questions about the Sports Department's record transparency, the utilization of funds, and potentially illegal hirings.

When a government official lies in writing, it undermines the credibility of the state system. In such cases, the District Sports Office can face a penalty of twenty-five thousand rupees upon complaint. This is not a minor error but a deliberate attempt to suppress a citizen's legal right to information, and strict action is imperative.

  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.
