Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak said on Monday that his government was four days short of its ninety-day target for changing the dilapidated system inherited from the previous rulers and the heads of all provincial government departments should note that after the deadline, anyone found guilty of hindering the deliverance of services to the people or involved in corruption would be punished.
The chief minister was addressing a jirga at the Basic Health Centre in Bagh Dheri, Swat.
He said that despite all challenges, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government in KP was capable of taking the province towards development.
Khattak said his government would change the present system and ensure the supremacy of justice and merit to end corruption and mismanagement in the public institutions. He urged the people to coordinate with the government to achieve ‘change’.
He said the upcoming change in the system could not be blocked on the wishes of some people and called upon the opposition to change its views.
Terming education as a basic right of all individuals, he said the standard of education imparted in public sector schools would be improved.
The chief minister said the availability of doctors, paramedics and medicines in hospitals would be ensured at all costs.
He said his government would construct buildings too but its main focus would be to serve the people.
Khattak appealed to the people to identify the wrong practices they had observed in the public institutions and report them in the complaint cell established in the CM Secretariat in KP.
