*ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has responded tothe criticism from Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar. *

*CJP criticized the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for ‘bad governance,. *

*Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday conceded thatthey should have given more attention and funds to improve basic facilitiesfor the people, but “we are trying to take corrective measures.”*

In a series of tweets, the PTI chief sought to compare the governance inthe KP with that of other provinces where his political rivals have been inpower for about a decade.

He said: “Appreciate CJP’s praise for KP IGP & CS. When competent officersare appointed solely on merit, as in KP, the Police & Administration workeffectively. In contrast, Punjab & Sindh have seen nepotism flourish withappts made on personal affinities of loyalists and “yes men”.

“Hence we have seen a complete decay and degeneration of the Police andAdministration in Punjab and Sindh.”

Imran said: “I welcome the remarks of CJP on the shortcomings he observedin Peshawar especially the sewerage system which is in need of drasticmeasures. We should have given more attention & funds to improve thesebasic facilities for the ppl but we are trying to take corrective measures.”

“On LRH, it is always much easier to build a new institution, as we havebuilt a state-of-the-art SKMTH in Peshawar, than to improve an existinginstitution. But if LRH had not improved why would 30 Pak doctors workingoverseas have returned to serve in it,” he added.

“I cannot thank Dr Burki enough for taking the time to regularly visit LRHat his own expense to oversee revamping of the hospital & our healthreforms.

I only have 2 Qs for CJP: Are things better now in KP than they were 5 yrsago? & are KP ppl more satisfied now than 5 yrs ago?”
