The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) chief secretary called for an explanation from a Population Welfare Department (PWD) employee for “indecent conduct in a social media Whatsapp group.”
The employee sent a message in the Whatsapp group which can be translated as, “all of you are so full of shit. It seems like communicating with donkeys”.
The name and designation of the employee have been wiped out in an image of the government notice circulating on social media.
The funniest I’ve read from KP Govt in recent times. The Chief Secretary asked all the departments to be on a whatsapp. An explanation has been called from one of the officials (name blurred) who posted “All of you are so full of shit….it seems like communicating with donkeys” pic.twitter.com/zBLRtw7yIi

In response, Deputy Coordinator eGovernance, Performance Management and Reforms Unit (PMRU) of the Government of KP, Akif Khan said that releasing an official notice was “the option we had”.
“We try our level best that officers should follow the code of conduct already communicated for this WhatsApp Group,” he added.
He commented that “in a group of 200+ people where everyone is violating the code of conduct, this is the only way out”.
Well that was the option we had. We try all our level best that officers should follow the code of conduct already communicated for this WhatsApp Group. I a group of 200+ people and if every one sharing and violating code of conduct I think that’s they only way out

“Only authorized officers/official are part of the group. Initially, everything was fine but now a few members have violated the terms,” he added.
“Everyone should follow the code of conduct,” Akif Khan stressed.
Yes. Only authorized officers/official are part of the group. Their names are officially nominated then we provided training and brief them about COC. Initially all was fine … now few violated the CoC.. so we called explanation. Nothing new in it. Every should follow CoC.
