ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Atta Tarar has slammed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, stating that there is no effective governance in the province and that corruption and mismanagement have reached unprecedented levels.
In a statement released on X, Atta Tarar accused the provincial government of lavish spending and wasting public funds on political endeavours.
خیبر پختونخوا میں گورننس نام کی چیز نہیں۔ کرپشن اور بد عنوانی عروج پر ہیں۔ شاہانہ اخراجات کیے جا رہے ہیں اور سیاست پر عوامی پیسہ خرچ کیا جا رہا ہے۔ کابینہ کی تعداد بڑھا دی گئی ہے، نا اہلی کے علاوہ اِن وزراء اور مشیران کے انتخاب کا کوئی اور معیار نہیں۔ کیا کابینہ کی تعداد بڑھانے…

He expressed objections to the recent expansion of the provincial cabinet, claiming that the increase in the number of ministers and advisors was based solely on incompetence rather than any established criteria. He questioned whether adding more cabinet members would actually improve the governance that has failed to improve over the past 12 years.
Tarar further remarked that the current state of affairs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the worst it has ever been, stating that the situation in the province has never been so dire.
