Sindh, Sindh
21 February 2007
Khairpur..... A luxurious
vehicle costing Rs 4.5 million
has been purchased for the
district Nazim Khairpur, sources
said. The sources said that the
brand new vehicle has been
purchased by the district govt
from the development portfolio
of the budget of the district
govt for fiscal 2006-7. The
govt’s devolution programme aims
at providing speedy relief to
the masses at their doorsteps
and prohibits luxurious
facilities to the elected chief
of the district govt, the
sources said. They said it was
the responsibility of the Sindh
govt to provide a vehicle to the
distt Nazim. They added that the
dist council had allocated Rs
4.500 million for purchasing the
new vehicle for the use of the
distt Nazim, which is illegal
because the council has right to
allocate amounts under the head
of POL and distt Nazim
secretariat and not for a
vehicle for the Nazim.The
sources said the Sindh govt had
provided a 1300cc Corolla car
for the use of the distt Nazim
in 2002, but the present distt
govt had approached the
authorities that the vehicle is
five years’ old which is not in
a position to cover long
distance. The sources said
according to rules and
regulations chief of the distt
is entitled to possessing only a
vehicle of 1300cc.
