The KP government will establish a vigilance cell to keep an eye on employees’ political activity.

The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has made the decision to set up a vigilance cell to keep an eye on government personnel’ actions, especially their engagement in political matters.

The action is intended to guarantee strict adherence to regulations that forbid civil personnel from engaging in political activities, according to an official letter.

The vigilance cell will be in charge of taking complaints, asking questions, and looking into cases involving public servants.

Government workers are prohibited from participating in election campaigns, attending political events, or joining political parties, according to authorities.

Additionally, the letter forbids using government resources and official positions for political ends.

The vigilance cell will suggest departmental action against the offending personnel.

To guarantee that the policy is implemented effectively, all District Education Officers (DEOs) have been instructed to completely collaborate with the vigilance cell.

Details show that after posting stories based on tweets, analysis, and video clips from leading journalists, the portal “Pakhtoon Digital” has come under fire. Why such content was broadcast is questioned in a legal notice.

After Aamir Afridi, the brother of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, launched a millions-rupee defamation lawsuit against Pakhtoon Digital, the controversy grew more intense. The notification also challenges reports that claim financial irregularities and commission-taking.
