PESHAWAR
\nProvincial Minister for Finance Taimur Salim Jhagra Tuesday informed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly that provincial government has increased executive allowance of government employees on performance basis under the decision of cabinet meeting in 2019.
\nHe said this while responding to the adjournment motion moved by leader of the opposition Akram Khan Durrani on salary disparity between officers of the secretariat and attached departments.
\nTaimur Salim Jhagra said that the Chief Minister Mahmood Khan had vowed to give public servants 25 percent in basic salary but they were given 35 percent raise which is a record and unprecedented accomplishment.
\nHe said that we have increased the house rent to 50 percent and termed the merger of the executive allowance in the salary of Schedule Officers in 2018 a wrong step. He said the cabinet meeting has taken the decision in 2019 that allowances would be merged on performance basis.
\nEelier, Akram Khan Durrani appreciated the provincial government to increased the salaries of public servants in current budget but the attached department has been deprived of some allowances.
\nHe said that KP government in the last budget announced executive allowance for the employees of provincial secretariat from grade 17 to 22.
\nSimilarly, incentives in the shape of technical allowance were also announced for local government, public health and other departments. He said that unfortunately employees of attached departments were still deprived from these incentives and their salary was not raised like the employees of secretariat.
\nHe said that their salary was raised only 20 percent due to which salary disparity between employees of the secretariat and attached department was increased.
\nParliamentary Leader of ANP Sardar Hussain Babak, Parliamentary Leader of PMLN Sardar Muhammad Yousuf, Nisar Muhammad Khan of ANP and Mir Kalam Wazir Independent also spoke on the issue to issue the allowance to the employees of attached departments.
\nLater, the Deputy Speaker Mahmood Jan on the point of quorum adjourned the assembly proceedings till Friday 10a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
