Shah Farman, a senior leader from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has stepped down as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s senior advisor.
In his resignation, Farman cited his role on the Accountability Committee as the primary reason, explaining that his advisory position could compromise his duties on the committee, which focuses on overseeing the performance of the KP government.
Previously, PTI founder Imran Khan, in consultation with the KP Chief Minister, established a three-member committee tasked with monitoring the performance of government ministers. This committee includes Shah Farman, senior legal expert Qazi Anwar, and Musaddiq, the CM’s advisor on anti-corruption.
The committee’s responsibilities involve reviewing complaints about corruption and recommending strategies for enhancing governance. It also evaluates the performance of the Chief Minister and other ministers. Qazi Anwar highlighted that the committee is set to broaden the Anti-Corruption Department’s mandate, allowing it to probe corruption allegations against high-ranking officials and ministers.
After thorough deliberation, the committee will forward cases to the courts for further action. This framework was agreed upon during a meeting between the Chief Minister and Imran Khan, where issues concerning ministerial performance were discussed.
