PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Communication and Works Mina Khan Afridi has set an example of transparency and good governance by cancelling road repair tenders in Tank within a day of their issuance.
According to official sources, the tenders were issued in violation of clear directives from Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who has strictly prohibited the initiation of any development project under individual names.
Afridi stated that the advertisement was released during a transitional period when departmental portfolios were being reassigned. He said the process did not comply with prescribed rules and regulations, adding that a detailed inquiry would be launched to identify those responsible.
The minister reiterated that transparency is the cornerstone of the provincial government’s policies and warned that no project influenced by personal or political interests would be approved.
He further said the Chief Minister’s instructions are clear — all projects must focus on public welfare, transparency, and adherence to legal procedures.
Afridi’s prompt action has drawn appreciation from political and public circles, who have termed it a positive move towards ensuring transparency and accountability in government affairs.
