Karachi: The Sindh Government’s decision to purchase double cabin vehicles for assistant commissioners(ACs) has been challenged in the Sindh High Court.
Jamaat-e-Islami Member of Sindh Assembly Muhammad Farooq approached the Sindh High Court on the issue of purchase of double cabin vehicles for Assistant Commissioners and filed a petition through Usman Farooq Advocate.
Jamaat-e-Islami Member of Sindh Assembly Mohammad Farooq said that SGA & CD has written a letter for the release of funds for vehicles. Two billion rupees is being released for 138 double-cabin vehicles. This decision of Sindh government is unnecessary and misuse of treasury.
In the petition, it was said that despite the country's economy being under severe pressure, luxury vehicles are being purchased for Sindh government officers.
The petitioner said that the money of the taxpayers of the province should be spent on the welfare, treatment and education of the people of the province. The vehicle purchase system is also not transparent.
Usman Farooq Advocate said that the notification issued by the Sindh government should be suspended and the purchase of vehicles should be stopped until the final decision and the fund should be ordered to be spent on public welfare projects.
