K-P minister for health and provincial government spokesperson Shoukat Yousafzai while talking to The Express News said that all the secretaries of the government departments were directed to issue notices to their employees to declare assets by August 30, 2013. He added that if politicians are required to declare their financial assets to the nation the same law should also be apply on the government employees.
Yousafzai added that while the decision has not been finilised however, the issue was discussed in multiple cabinet meetings. Yousafzai further said that according to the plan a special committee would be formed to analyse the financial assets of all the government employees before they joined the service and now.
The K-P government spokesperson said that according to the proposed law, details of employees' assets would be publish on the K-P provincial government official website for the public viewing. The proposed legislation is yet to be passed into the law. “The nation wants to know about the financial assets of the government employees along with politicians” he added saying that it would help curb corruption in the province.

@Sami:
Will the status-quo parties like that-no. They future will be doomed. They will do their best to become obstacle in Imran's way and would all they can so IK failed.
@Bill: Ha ! ha !.............exactly my point.
Awesome step by kpk govt. inshallah PTI will make kpk a role model 4 the whole country.
I, being a govt. employee, am already submitting statement of assets and liabilities every year. PTI is not doing anything new.
To KPK government: forget the assets and stop playing politics, try to eliminate terrorism first. These assets and bank balances are secondary in this crunch time.
We all know that corruption is rampant in the Government departments. I particularly know a young police officer in KP who has purchased plots worth millions of rupees in Islamabad, of course out of ill-gotten. This guy will be my benchmark of PTI's sincerity towards eradication of corruption in KP.
@Parvez: stop being so naive.
These are the kind of steps we expect from PTI. Hope they implement it properly. I wish them a very Good Luck and progress in KPK. Even If one province flourishes,it will be a positive message for the whole country. Good Job
PTI is moving in the right direction. If the issues with the courts, police , health , education , governance, energy and offcourse peace are solved in KPK, and the poor man feels it then it will a great achievement for PTI and will clean sweep the whole country in next term In Sha Allah..
......and they of course will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
A Great initiative to STOP CORRUPTION!
For a second I got out of my bias against PTI and realized that This is revolution. Never in my life as a Pakistani I could've imagined that the governement employees would actually act like public servants. A very impressive and bold step by PTI.
