Rawalpindi: A major corruption scandal involving an alleged misappropriation of Rs. 264 million has surfaced within the Rawalpindi District Health Authority (DHA), with authorities yet to hold anyone accountable even after five years.
Sources reveal that procurements were carried out in blatant violation of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules. Multiple items were purchased through local procurement without any tender process or competitive quotations, flouting standard government financial regulations.
What makes the matter more alarming is that despite half a decade having passed since the irregularities took place, not a single official involved in the scandal has been brought to justice, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of the accountability system in the province.
Civil society representatives and healthcare sector experts have demanded a transparent and impartial investigation into the matter, urging authorities to take immediate action against those responsible for the alleged financial misconduct.
