Minister for Finance Muzaffar Said pointed out Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa had been widely criticised in the media for not spending development budgets. However, he contended this was not the case.
He explained the province had spent the development budgets, but the federal government was yet to provide around Rs70 billion.
