KPK Ministers         

Three honourable minsters of KPK namely Yousaf Ayub (PTI),  Bedar Bakht and Abrar Hussain (both of Quami Watan Party) have been removed from the KPK provincial cabinet on the charges of corruption against them  Yousaf Ayub apart from the corruption charge also stood disqualified by the Supreme Court for holding a fake graduation degree.  If the corruption charges are correct then mere laying off the ministers is not much of a chastisement for them and they should have been also booked for corruption and handed over to the FIA or Police for proper investigations and legal action. No doubt, the PTI has taken a bold step by dismissing its own ministers yet, it would have been an historic and worth emulating by others a step taken by any ruling political party for getting the cases of corruption registered against its own ministers.

There is still time for the PTI to do so and set an example for others to follow. It would go a long way in weeding out the corruption from our ruling elite.
