Public representatives and social circles call for a transparent inquiry into allegations of absenteeism, administrative negligence and financial irregularities involving government departments in South Waziristan Lower.
WANA: Questions have been raised over the alleged absence of heads of various government departments in South Waziristan Lower and concerns about administrative oversight, with public and social circles calling for a transparent investigation into the matter.
According to sources, some heads of government departments are reportedly based in other districts instead of remaining present in South Waziristan Lower, while administrative matters and public complaints continue to require attention. The situation has also prompted questions about the performance of Deputy Commissioner South Waziristan Lower Musarrat Zaman and the district administration’s monitoring system.
Sources have further alleged that some government department heads are making monthly payments in connection with their positions or administrative arrangements. However, these allegations have not been independently verified, and no publicly confirmed evidence has been provided to establish their validity.
The available information also does not indicate whether the deputy commissioner has initiated any formal action in response to the allegations. The relevant authorities are being urged to conduct a transparent inquiry and take action in accordance with the law if any misconduct or irregularity is established.
Sources have also questioned why the deputy commissioner has allegedly been unable to summon the concerned department heads, raising further concerns about the effectiveness of administrative supervision. However, the basis of these claims remains unverified, and the deputy commissioner’s position on the matter has not yet been made public.
Public circles say the district administration is responsible for monitoring government departments, ensuring that officials fulfil their duties and addressing public complaints promptly. They argue that if officials are carrying out their responsibilities while remaining outside the district, or if public grievances are not being addressed, the situation could undermine administrative effectiveness and weaken public confidence in government institutions.
Local residents and social circles have called on senior authorities to take notice of the reported absenteeism, examine the performance of government departments and investigate the allegations of possible financial irregularities. They have also demanded that the findings of any inquiry be made public to ensure transparency and accountability.
The controversy has highlighted calls for effective monitoring of government offices and clearer accountability mechanisms in South Waziristan Lower. Any official determination of wrongdoing, however, would require a fair investigation and evidence supporting the allegations.
