Escorting the VIPs

The ANP government claims that they don’t have funds to better equip the police to fight terror in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). The police stations in KPK have been given brand new pickups and motorcycles to provide regular security in the region but then the ANP government stopped the payments for fuel for these vehicles.

The police station heads were told to find “other sources” for the fuel cost of their vehicles. When these same SHOs started money extortion from the local businesses, the same government blamed these SHOs of corruption. This resulted in the return of motorbikes and vehicles by the police force and instead the police personnel opted for standing duties.

Almost everyday we read about the bombing of another school in KPK. Everyday we read about kidnapping, murder, extortion and many other heinous crimes happening in KPK and close to our homes. And during all this time, we all assume that the ANP government has stretched their budget due to security requirements and are facing a tough time finding new funding for the police.

I almost threw up when three days ago I saw the Speaker of the KPK Assembly arrive to a party in an 8-vehicle police escort. Then two days later, CM KPK arrived at a funeral in a police escort of 10-vehicles. And today Mr Asfandiyar Wali came to Peshawar, in an escort of 8-police vehicles.

Where does the funding for the fuel requirement of 8-10 police escort vehicles for each individual ANP leader comes from? Is it even legal to allow the budget for VIP escort vehicle, while denying the budget for police security vehicles?

If the police personnel are all busy in escorting and driving the escort vehicles of the VIPs of ANP, then does that make the ANP leaders responsible for destruction of schools by terrorists in KPK, as the police are not available to investigate and stop such acts?

ANP and leaders of KPK, look in the mirror at yourself and at your actions. By showing off with big police escorts you are stopping the police from doing their security work, until one day the school with your children inside might be blown up. Then you can go to their funeral with a long police escort.
