The government and people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly the NWFP) have rejected the Transparency International report that claims to have found Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as the province with the highest incidence of corruption.
In a press conference, held in Peshawar on Wednesday June 2, 2010, Information Minister of the province Mian Iftikhar Hussain rejected the report of Transparency International, issued on Tuesday June 1, 2010, that found Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the most corrupt of the four provinces. Pointing to the fact that no names were mentioned in the report relating corruption, Mr. Hussain told media that the report fails to support its claim with any piece of evidence.
The said report is also known to have been compiled by conducting a negligibly short and carelessly created questionnaire by a handful of students of a private university and circulated among a very small number of people in a few cities only. Imtiaz Naseem, President of Swat Students Federation and one of the students of the same university also criticized the report and rejected its credibility while calling the report a sham.
