K-P again in throes of a financial crunch

PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government is once again facing a financial crunch in the wake of “irrational calculations and demands”.

“The government is going to drop a number of schemes from the Annual Development Programme (ADP) 2016-17 to stabilise the province’s financial health,” said a senior official of the K-P finance department requesting anonymity.

K-P govt generates only 20% of Rs54.4b in first half of FY

“The finance department is not faring well. We are definitely facing a financial crunch,” said the official. According to the official, the department’s revenue stood at around Rs70 billion in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2016-17 against an expenditure of more than Rs100 billion mark in the same period.

Last week the chief minister held a meeting with officials concerned in which the matter of dropping schemes from the ADP was discussed, the official said.

A senior official of the P&D department confirmed that the government would freeze work on an unspecified number of schemes.

The ADP has just 260 new development schemes out of a total of 1,531 with an estimated cost of Rs21.5 billion.

Govt shows Rs212b statistical error to cut budget deficit

The finance department released 25 percent of funds for all development schemes in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. “The finance department is yet to release funds for the second quarter … funds should have been released on October 1,” he said.

“The situation was created because of irrational calculations and irrational demands. If the government fails to … control its expenditures, we will be in trouble,” the official said.

The finance department, he said, had insisted on capping the ADP at Rs69 billion at the time of budget making, but the figures escalated “just to ensure political gains”.

Maybe Imran Khan should focus on this rather than planning on shutting down Pakistan's capital and causing billions of dollars of damage & the death/injuries of many people.

Why not start with Imran Khan who fired his own investigation team for exposing the corruption from within party? Or supported TTP in aiding to having killed more than 50,000 innocent people lives in Pakistan? Try to lead the example for a change. Maybe and just maybe, PMLN will be inspired.

No mention on Imran Khan who fired his own investigation team for exposing the corruption from within the party?

Only Imran Khan has the history of being pro-TTP since TTP was created after war on terror. There was no TTP in 90.

And the rest does sound like Indian propaganda now? You are losing the plot very fast.

What about the billions stolen in Panama, where is the accountability for that? Or the Rs502 billion corruption in PIA, Pakistan Railways and Pakistan Steel Mills reported by the Auditor General? Or the Rs10 billion skimmed off in the PM Youth Loan.

All of this corruption equals into billions of taxpayers dollars stolen, while you're talking about not even a million dollar in private funds. Akheer Chawal

Files recovered from Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbotabad reveal that the prime minister’s brother, Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif, sought to strike a peace deal with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) through al Qaeda, The Long War Journal reported.

http://tribune.com.pk/story/850789/...ey-didnt-conduct-operations-in-punjab-report/

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that the Taliban and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz both opposed former military dictator Pervez Musharraf and, therefore, he is surprised that this common stance has failed to stop the Taliban from carrying out terror attacks in Punjab.

Billions of dollars in damage? Death and injury of many people? Do you expect Imran Khan and PTI to burn Islamabad to the ground? Let's not carried away here.
