Institutions ruined in four years, admits PPP minister - thenews.com.pk
A Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) minister told the provincial assembly on Saturday that he felt compelled to speak the “truth” on health and education as nothing had been done to rectify the problems plaguing these sectors during the last four years while institutions had been irreparably damaged.
In his brief but candid speech on the budget for the financial year 2012-13, **Revenue Minister Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar **alleged that massive financial irregularities were committed during the execution of the chief minister’s hepatitis control programme. Some officers were arrested but later released for unknown reasons. “Why were these officers allowed to go free?”
The minister pointed out that schools had remained closed in the province for the last four years and the matter was brought to the attention of both the chief minister and the senior education minister, but no effort was made to address the issue. **He revealed that 58 schools were closed in his constituency only.
**
Waving documents purportedly carrying proof of corruption, Dahar told the House that **education had been destroyed in the province.
**
“When a district education officer in Ghotki was removed as punishment, he was appointed and promoted in another district. What sort of action was that?”
He alleged that bribes were being accepted for “meritless recruitments”. Transfers and postings were also taking place after the payment of money. “I am a responsible minister of the cabinet but feel compelled to speak after seeing these injustices.”
He believed **the “rot” in the system and institutions of Sindh had spread to alarming proportions **and called for running the province in a better way.
Dahar also urged MPAs to play their role and monitor schools and hospitals in their respective areas.
At end of his speech, when the minister remarked that he did not feel sorry if anyone had felt hurt by his speech, several legislators thumped their desks to support his contention.
