PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to withdraw the perks and privileges of the province’s former chief ministers.
“As a poor country, we can’t afford to provide perks and privileges to former CMs. All these facilities, including guards and government vehicles, are being taken back [from them] here,” newly-elected Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur told reporters after his cabinet’s first meeting at the Civil Secretariat here on Friday.
Besides cabinet members, the provincial chief secretary, additional chief secretaries, and administrative secretaries of the provincial departments also attended the meeting.
The CM said his government was working to improve the law-and-order situation.
