KPK Ministers
ByCol. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

Three honorable ministers of KPK namely Yousaf Ayub (PTI), Bedar Bakht and Abrar Hussain (both of Quami Watan Party), have been removed from the provincial cabinet on charges of corruption. Apart from the corruption charge, Yousaf Ayub also stood disqualified by the Supreme Court for holding a fake degree.
If the corruption charges are real then mere laying off the ministers is not much of a chastisement for them; they should have been booked for corruption and handed over to the FIA or Police for proper investigations and legal action.
There is still time for the PTI to do so and set an example for others to follow. It would not only introduce a system of “inbuilt accountability” in a political party (like the armed forces) but also go a long way in weeding out corruption from the ranks of our ruling elite.
