PESHAWAR, Apr 09 (APP):Chief Minister (CM) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Khan Gandapur addressed public gathering in Mardan, where he outlined his government’s vision for economic stability and improved public services.
He said providing basic facilities at the people’s doorstep is a core responsibility of the government.
“Hospitals must provide real treatment, not just exist as buildings,” he stated. He also stressed the need for quality education and efficient public service delivery.
CM directed elected representatives to ensure timely completion of development projects, adding that public tax money is being spent for the welfare of the people.
He said that his government had paid Rs 17 billion in overdue health card payments, along with clearing other departmental dues left by past governments.
Ali Amin Gandapur claimed that KP has become the richest province under PTI-inspired reforms. He said the government plugged financial leaks and saved billions. “We haven’t taken a single loan in the past 13 months and repaid Rs. 50 billion in loans instead,” he added, stressing that true independence comes from financial self-reliance.
The CM announced that the next provincial budget would be centered on public welfare. He said Rs 500 million will be given to each representative annually for small development schemes, while every constituency will get Rs 2 billion next year.
Highlighting the issue of the National Finance Commission (NFC) award, Gandapur said KP is constitutionally owed Rs 256 billion . “We are actively pursuing this right and will not rest until KP becomes self-reliant and fully empowered,” he said.
The CM urged unity among the people and representatives to build a prosperous and self-sufficient Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
