ISLAMABAD: Minister for States and Frontier Region Lt Gen (R) Abdul Qadir Baloch has said that the government is committed to abolishing the black law of Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR) of Fata on priority which denied the residents the right to appeal in any court for change in conviction, the right to legal representation and the right to present reasoned evidence.
Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Sartaj Aziz said the government was presenting a bill in this regard in the National Assembly on December 11 which was likely to be approved by the NA and then it would be finally approved by the Senate later next week.
He said in order to mainstream Fata economically, a committee was formed which had almost completed its work and it would present its report before the National Economic Council (NEC) by end of current month. He said three percent of federal divisible pool would be set aside for Fata which amounted to around Rs100 billion a year.
He said this allocation would be spent on various development projects in health, education, water, energy and others for socio-economic development of the people of the area. Sartaj Aziz informed that the government had also planned to expand Levy force, which according to the plan, would be given the status of police on later stage. He said the process of recruiting additional 20,000 personnel in Levy force would be finalised within 2-3 months and the recruitment process was being held under Frontier Corps.
Abdul Qadir Baloch informed that the Rahdari system in Fata was also being abolished from January 1, 2018. He said under this system heavy taxes were imposed on any commodity being transported from other parts of the country to the Fata. He said a Council of Advisory had been formed comprising members of the Fata in the National Assembly and the Senate and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) governor would be bound to implement the advice of this committee.Furthermore, he added that from today Additional Chief Secretary of Fata had been assigned the role of Fata Chief Operating Officer to control the issues of the area. He said in health and education sectors of the Fata, there were 2,293 vacant posts out of which 1440 posts had been sanctioned while the remaining would be sanctioned within 15 days. The minister said the government was not delaying any project as it had sufficient funds of Rs80 billion for the current fiscal year.
