Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur announced the establishment of a separate secretariat for the Kohat, Bannu, and D.I. Khan divisions to reshape the administrative landscape of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The official notification revealed that the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, Abid Majeed, has been assigned the role of Additional Chief Secretary South. He will spearhead the creation of secretariats and directorates for all departments within these divisions, ensuring a dedicated focus on their unique administrative needs.
Key reforms are on the horizon as amendments to the Rules of Business will be crafted. These amendments will encompass financial and administrative planning and service delivery enhancements. The Additional Chief Secretary South will report directly to the Chief Minister, fostering a more efficient and responsive governance structure.
The initiative has been met with optimism by local residents and officials alike. By decentralizing administrative functions and focusing on the distinct needs of the Kohat, Bannu, and D.I. Khan divisions, this decision is expected to bring about substantial improvements in governance and public service. Enhanced local governance will likely address long-standing challenges and accelerate development in these areas.
