Peshawar – Our Awara Correspondent: Speaking at a press conference at CM House in Peshawar, Imran Khan, a Member of the National Assembly from Rawalpindi (NA-56), said that the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will take strict action against absentee doctors and teachers in the province.
Khan, who was the single most expensive parliamentarian in the country in the year 2013 considering salary drawn and days attended, said that the PTI-led KP government is going to take strict action against the scores of doctors and teachers who don’t go to their hospitals and schools despite drawing their salaries.
“What sort of professionalism, what sort of ethics does a person have to have in this poor country to keep being a parasite on the exchequer and not do his job,” he asked.
Khan, who, in a record maintained till October of last year, had attended the sessions a total of 13 days in the 27 months of the assembly till that month, told reporters that whether it was ghost schools or dysfunctional BHUs, the villains of the piece are the errant teachers and doctors who simply refuse to show up to work but have no problems in drawing their salaries.
Imran Khan, whose title of most expensive parliamentarian was snatched only recently by Sardar Kamal Khan Bangulzai, placing him in second place, vowed to check such errant behaviour in all departments, not just health and education.
