Whither promises?

In Pakistan every day a new scam makes it to the newspapers. The recent scandal is the presence of the ghost school and ghost students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It has been found that out of 93,300 schools, around 41,592 schools were not real and that only five districts are immune from the presence of ghost schools

It is sad that the scandal has surfaced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where the PTI is enjoying its second term. It was a great chance for party to make significant changes in any sectors, mostly education and health, which are so significant to human development. The PTI government has failed in reforming the education sector of the province. The scandal shows that the PTI has failed on two accounts in KP. First, it failed in tackling the issue of ghost schools, and second it could not eliminate corruption – even as its leadership was busy removing Mian Nawaz Sharif from the PM Office on charges of corruption. I would like to say to the current government that your dreams cannot come true when you do not work on your promises.
