Flood, Khyber
The floods triggered by monsoon rains in Pakistan have killed more than 5000 people (numbers will raise). More than ten million people have become homeless.
While nature has been unkind it is important to see how responsible organization of Pakistan for prevention of floods has performed, so that improvements can be put in place to avoid similar disasters in future. The Federal Flood for Commission Pakistan ( FFC) works under Ministry of Water & Power. FFC has rights to plan , monitor and execute flood control projects for effective management of floods. Since its establishment in 1976, it has spent Rs. 35.8 billion and $ 400 million (Rs 34 billion) on floods mitigation projects. Where has all this money gone?
The recent floods have exposed the incompetence and corruption in this department. Chief Minster of Punjab after making inspections of many bogus or non-existent projects, especially in South-Punjab, ordered an inquiry at the highest level but federal government is still unmoved over the criminal negligence of FCC.
The most serious and catastrophic devastating impacts of floods was faced in District Nowshera and Charsadda of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Huge sums of money has been spent here with nothing to show. One of the main culprits of the huge embezzlement is the Chief Engineer of FCC, Mr. Ahmed Kamal. He recently managed to get deputed as a Member, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and has also act as spokesman of NDMA.
This very same person after looting billions of rupees has asked people to donate their money for flood victims. While donation flow in, it is important that the government punish people like him and others who have made this tragedy far worse than it ought to have been.
