KP Governor Says Province Is Moving Towards Better Days

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has expressed optimism about the province’s future, saying its people have come out of a tunnel and are now heading towards the light.

Speaking to reporters in Peshawar, Kundi acknowledged the challenges along the border but stressed that national interests would remain non-negotiable. He said those repeatedly issuing deadlines had already lost their credibility and reiterated that the people of KP were moving towards a brighter future.

The governor also assured that the concerns and proposals of the province’s residents would be taken into consideration. Responding to a question about his publicity, he said the arrangements had been made in Karachi and suggested that Islamabad would have been a more suitable location.

Kundi said the province had not taken ownership of federal policies aimed at tackling terrorism over the past 13 years. However, he maintained that his administration would now assume responsibility for implementing those policies.

The governor said the government would also work to resolve public issues, including winter gas shortages and the unavailability of flour. He added that he had raised these concerns with the federal government in the past and would continue to do so, while ensuring that his administration took responsibility for its own role.

Kundi said development initiatives would continue, but restoring and maintaining peace would remain the government’s foremost priority. He added that development funding could be reduced if required to ensure sufficient resources for security and law enforcement.

Highlighting staffing shortages in the provincial police, the governor said around 17,000 posts remained vacant. He said he had instructed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to move forward with recruitment and promotion processes to address the gaps in the force.
