PESHAWAR:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak stated on Tuesday that his government had allocated Rs45 billion to the district governments across the province, while talking to reporters at the Chief Minister House after taking oath of the fresh office-bearers of the Peshawar Press Club, reportedly.
Khattak compared KP to other provinces and said that KP had devolved more departments to the district government and it would bring a real change.
The chief minister said during two years in power, his government had strived to introduce a transparent governance system in the province. He said the PTI government had freed the government system from the clutches of bureaucracy. He said now even the chief minister didn’t enjoy any clout and had to follow the rules.
Mr Khattak said KP government had curbed teachers’ absenteeism in government schools that had led to 95 per cent attendance among students. He said government offices were meant for serving people, not for claiming perks and privileges.
