Ground realities?: ‘PTI failing to live up to its promises’
http://tribune.com.pk/story/568310/ground-realities-pti-failing-to-live-up-to-its-promises/The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been blamed for going against its slogan of change after taking charge of the provincial government.
The allegations emerged after Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Pervez Khattak last Wednesday appointed 10 lawmakers as advisers and special assistants who will enjoy ministerial-level powers and are entitled to the same facilities.
A PTI insider on the condition of anonymity admitted differences over the allotment of ministries were still prevailing within the party, adding this was causing disappointment among activists.
The PTI insider claimed there were two groups within the party. The first was led by Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and the second by K-P Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser.
“Those individuals who were not given ministries have been adjusted as advisors who have powers similar to those of a minister,” he explained. “Persistent rifts have compelled party workers to write letters of complaints to PTI chief Imran Khan.”
Constitutional expert Quresh Khattak explained provincial cabinets were limited to 15 ministers, including the chief minister, under the 18th Amendment. He said Clause 130 (6), which was introduced by the amendment, clearly defined the size of the cabinet. “The cabinet is to be collectively responsible to the provincial assembly and its total strength is not to exceed 15 members under Article 130.”
Awami National Party (ANP) Information Secretary Mian Iftikhar Hussain told The Express Tribune the PTI government was failing to bring good governance back to the province, adding K-P was already engulfed by a plethora of chronic challenges.
He said the PTI was bound to obey rules envisaged under the 18th Constitutional Amendment. “However, these additional advisors and special assistants are making this government’s reign similar to those of past rulers. It can be said that the government has 25 ministers after 10 advisors and special assistants, vested with ministerial powers, are coupled with 15 appointed members of the cabinet.”
The former information minister questioned why special assistants were being tasked with overseeing a range of portfolios such as mining and minerals, higher education and population welfare as if they were ministers. He alleged incumbent ministers were taking full advantage of their incentives and perks, which they had promised their voters they would stay away from.
“Over Rs15 million in additional expenditures for advisors and special assistants groups is a burden on the provincial exchequer,” he argued, adding this had also weakened confidence in the new government. Hussain criticised leaders of the provincial government for being involved in a tug of war over ministries, while militants were regrouping and taking advantage of the party’s internal weaknesses.

PESHAWAR: The tall claims of the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtun-khwa government about unprecedented increase in education budget have proved to be a mere jugglery of words as there is an increase of only Rs one billion in the development budget of education.
No new mega project is to be launched in the sector and only all the ongoing schemes have been retained. The projected amount in the budget for education has been shown as Rs66 billion by combining the current and development budget. Many in the government circles have claimed that the education budget has been enhanced from Rs6 billion to Rs66 billion, which is against the reality.
According to the budget document, the total allocation for education sector is Rs60 billion, which includes Rs56 billion for salaries and Rs4 billion non-salary expenses. The government claimed to have imposed an education emergency, but no such allocation has been made or project identified to show the government’s seriousness about education sector in practical terms. The amount allocated for development in the education sector under Annual Development Programme is Rs13 billion against the Rs12 billion of the previous government showing an increase of only Rs one billion.
The top focus proposed in the first budget of the new government was improvement of the conditions of the existing educational institution by constructing boundary walls, lavatories, rooms and provision of other facilities for which an allocation of Rs2 billion has been made. But this is not something new. It has been a continuous process for which similar allocations are made every year.
Similarly, Rs500 million amount has been allocated for introducing monitoring system in the education system. This scheme, too, is an initiative of the previous government, as all ground work for it has already been made. Even recruitment process for the scheme was started during the caretaker government. Third party monitoring of education institutions would be introduced for which an amount of Rs100 million has been allocated. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Commission and Joint Education Advisory Commission for reviewing curriculum and examination system is something new for which an allocation of Rs20 million has been made.
Stori Da Pakhtunkhwa is a project, which was launched by the Awami National Party-led former government which has been maintained. However, the monthly stipend of Rs10,000 -15000 in budget for the new fiscal year has been extended to top 20 position holders in all the boards for which an allocation of Rs360 million has been made.
Rokhana Pakhtunkhwa, another old project, has been extended with an allocation of Rs800 million. Focus would also be made on promotion of girl education in the remote districts like Kohistan, Battagram, Torghar like the previous government. Moreover, 100 new primary schools, upgrading of 50 primary schools to middle level, 50 middle schools to high and 25 high schools to higher secondary school level is in the next annual development programme. Work would also be started on the second phases of Cadet College Swat and Karnal Sher Khan College Swabi.

A day after Pakistan suffered a loss against India, former Pakistani cricketer Aamir Sohail claimed that World Cup-winning former captain, Imran Khan is responsible for the current abysmal state of the sport in the country, Times of India reported.
“I want to say clearly here and for once we must face the truth that Imran is responsible for the state of affairs in our cricket,” Sohail said.
Sohail was addressing Pakistan’s latest defeat to India in a Champions Trophy match on a news channel, with fellow guests Zaheer Abbas and Younus Khan.
“Imran damaged Pakistan cricket by encouraging our bowlers to tamper with the ball. This has led to a culture where we can’t produce good new ball bowlers or quality openers,” Sohail added.
