The Ministry should make a policy of its own regarding allotment of plots, he insisted. The committee directed the Ministry of Defence to end its policy of allotting agriculture land to politicians and army generals. The committee asked provincial governments to provide details of their policy of allotting plots to federal and provincial employees. The Additional Secretary Sindh could not produce details in this regard. He explained that the provincial government was yet to receive reports regarding allocation of plots from a few departments. He promised to submit the report to the PAC Secretariat soon.
His reply did not satisfy the committee's chairman who angrily remarked that the country could not be run in this manner. The Additional Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhaw informed the committee that there was no such scheme in his province. According to him, no government officer or judge had been given any plot since 1985. Appreciating the precedent set by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the committee's chairman advised other provinces to follow the province's example in this respect. He directed the Ministry of Housing and Works to cancel allotments of all those bureaucrats who had got plots on fake affidavits. He directed the authorities to provide details of all allotments to judges, army generals and bureaucrats on the website of the ministry for information.
The committee gave the Punjab government 10 days to provide a list of beneficiaries. Meanwhile, officials of the Balochistan government submitted a list of federal government officials and judges who had been allotted plots. The Quetta Development Authority (QTA), he said, had awarded plots to 19 officers and judges.
The committee also directed for cancellation of residential plots allotted to government employees in Islamabad's Sector D-14 following the previous government policy. It further directed that the bureaucrats working in CDA on deputation should not be awarded plots. Auditor-General of Pakistan reiterated his statement that the Supreme Court accounts had been audited and there was no audit objection on the accounts of the apex court.
