An audit report has revealed a concerning finding—at least 80 official vehicles are missing from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Livestock Department. The missing vehicles, which were allocated for official use, are now under investigation as part of a larger audit process.
The audit uncovered that these vehicles have not been accounted for in the department’s records, raising questions about their whereabouts and potential misuse. The discovery has sparked significant concerns within the provincial government, as it points to a possible failure in the management and oversight of public resources.
According to sources, the missing vehicles include both cars and trucks, which were supposed to be used for transporting livestock and conducting fieldwork. These vehicles are vital for the department’s operations, which include ensuring the health and welfare of livestock across the region.
The audit report, which was completed recently, has already led to calls for greater accountability within the KP Livestock Department. Authorities are now investigating the matter further, aiming to identify who is responsible for the disappearance of the vehicles. There are also questions about how these vehicles went missing without being flagged during routine inspections.
The loss of at least 80 official vehicles could also have significant financial implications, as these vehicles were purchased using public funds. The audit’s findings have raised concerns about the overall transparency and management of departmental resources.
In response, the KP government has promised to take strict action against those found responsible. Officials have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted to recover the missing vehicles and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
As the investigation continues, the issue of missing vehicles within the KP Livestock Department highlights the need for improved monitoring systems and more stringent checks to safeguard public assets.
The audit’s findings are expected to have broader implications for the management of government resources in the province, and may lead to reforms aimed at ensuring greater transparency and accountability.
