According to sources, Bakht Bedar and Abrar Hussain was affiliated with the coalition political party, Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), while Yousuf Ayub was elected on the platform of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
It should be mentioned that Yousuf Ayub had recently been declared ineligible on his post by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on holding fake degree.
However, the removed governmental officials were sitting on prominent posts including Bakht Bedar on Labour and Manpower, Abrar Hussain on Forest and Yousuf Ayub on Communication ministries.
According to TheNewsTribe reports, the KPK government has completed their investigation process in order to grip corrupt officials in the provincial setup and enlisted at least 11 lawmakers who found guilty in corruption while three of them were removed today.
