Severe questions have been raised about a juice stall that is running within the Hayatabad Sports Complex, belonging to the Directorate General of Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. As a gesture towards transparency, a concerned citizen has formally submitted an application under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Right to Information (RTI) Act 2013 requesting complete information regarding the approval and funding of the stall.

The candidate has asked for information on who gave the permission to set up the juice stall within the complex and on whose official or departmental authority this permission has been given. Copies of any written clearance, file notings, or notices pertaining to this permission have been sought.

The main issues revolve around the allegation that the stall was assigned to a young person identified as a "deserving athlete." The applicant inquires who decided this and on what basis or documentation his or her inability to fund his or her sporting needs was determined. If verification or evaluation was indeed done, the respective reports or documents are requested.

Further explanation is being requested about who built the stall or its framework—was it government-funded, privately funded, or constructed by the young man himself? If it was on public funds, the breakdown of costs has been requested.

The app also asks whether the stallholder has done any investment from his end and what are the terms and duration of permission for the operation of the stall. The applicant inquired if there is any formal agreement, Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), or written terms and conditions and if the permission is temporary or renewable.

Another essential question brought up is whether such an opportunity has been given only to this individual or if other people have been given these privileges in the past. Furthermore, the application asks whether this deal has been put to any audit or inquiry.

Specifically noteworthy is the question of exemption on rental: who made the decision that no rent would be paid for the stall and under what policy or authority?

The RTI request specifies that responses in all cases should be supported by clear and detailed documentary evidence, such as notifications, minutes of meetings, letters of approval, and corresponding correspondence. According to the RTI law, the department in question has a duty to reply within ten working days.

  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.
