Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has proposed the establishment of regional offices of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) in Dera Ismail Khan, Malakand, and Abbottabad. In a letter to Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, Governor Kundi highlighted the need for improved access to recruitment services for candidates from remote areas.
The governor’s proposal is aimed at addressing the challenges faced by aspirants who live far from the main office of the KPPSC in Peshawar. By setting up regional offices, the process of applying and appearing for examinations will be more convenient for those residing in Dera Ismail Khan, Malakand, and Abbottabad.
In his letter to Chief Minister Afridi, Governor Kundi stated, “The establishment of these regional offices will significantly enhance the recruitment process by ensuring that candidates from remote areas have equal opportunities.”
This move is expected to streamline the application procedures and reduce the travel burden on aspirants. The governor emphasized that the proposed offices would provide a one-stop solution for all recruitment-related queries and formalities.
Chief Minister Afridi has not yet responded publicly to Governor Kundi’s proposal, but it is anticipated that he will consider the matter seriously given its potential benefits for the province's administrative structure.
The governor’s initiative aligns with broader efforts to decentralize government services in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. By bringing key public service functions closer to the people, the administration hopes to foster greater participation and transparency in the recruitment process.
While details of the proposed offices are still being finalized, it is understood that they will offer a range of services including application forms, examination schedules, and counseling for candidates.
