Haji Ghulam Ali also regretted that during the last decade, the debt burden and loaning graph of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has increased more than the other provinces creating economic problems in the province.
Hence, he said”He will try to reduce these economic difficulties, enable the government departments and sectors to serve the masses better, government employees start getting salaries on time and the concentration of funds is in the entire province including the merged districts instead of any specific constituency so that the people of all areas can benefit equally from the fruits of growth.”
