When Muzammil Aslam presented these figures, were all such details mentioned? The people deserve transparency.\u201d<br \/>\nThe PPP leader further expressed concern over the worsening law and order situation in the province, stating that the highest number of terrorist incidents this year took place in KP. \u201cOnly the faces of corruption have changed,\u201d he remarked, adding that the opposition rejects what he called the \u201cAli Baba Chalis Chor\u201d budget.<br \/>\nKundi also questioned the provincial government\u2019s efforts regarding financial devolution. \u201cThey keep demanding a share from the NFC, but what have they done for the Provincial Finance Commission?\u201d he asked.<br \/>\nHe demanded transparency over the utilization of the Rs 416 billion development budget for 2024-25.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, Opposition Member of the Assembly Ihsanullah Khan alleged that the funds spent last year were siphoned off by the elite and transferred abroad.
