He further said that the number of elected members of the PTI in the provincial assembly is more than one hundred, yet the provincial finance minister and the spokesperson of the provincial government are unelected representatives. Why is no one chosen, or is no one capable of becoming the finance minister or spokesperson?
Mr Babak says how strange it is that a government and the finance minister and spokesperson cannot come to the provincial assembly because they are not elected representatives. The affairs of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are being run by the ‘kitchen cabinet. ’
He further said that if they were elected representatives of the people, they would have taken the entire political leadership of the province into confidence and the 145 members of the provincial assembly and all the local government representatives of the province would have gone to Islamabad to demand their rights from the federation and protested in front of the National Assembly, but their objectives are not to struggle for the rights of the province but to engage in politics of chaos.
