Failure to pass budget
MARDAN: The Local Government Commission on Monday issued a show-case notice to Mardan district nazim and naib nazim for their failure to pass the budget by simple majority as required under rules and tampering with the attendance sheet by faking signatures of some members, sources told The News.
The sources added the commission during its meeting decided to serve the show-cause notice on Mardan District Nazim, Himayatullah Mayar and Naib Nazim, Asad Ali.
Under the law, they are required to submit written reply to the Local Government Commission within seven days. Action will be taken against the district nazim and naib nazim if they didn’t submit their reply within the specified period.
Three members of the District Council, including Salim Khan, Ayesha Bibi and Shama Bibi, said that their signatures had been faked. The sources added that Forensic Science Laboratory had also declared the signatures of the three members as fake.
They said that three other District Council members Ahmad Sultan, Aqeela Begum and Farhat Shamim stated that no show of hand had taken place during the budget session. They denied having voted in favour of the proposed budget. According to the law, it is the duty of the assistant director of the Local Government and Rural Development to maintain proper record of the meeting of the District Council.
