Former provincial education minister Saeed Ghani has justified the decision to purchase 29,000 desks in government schools in Sindh.
Recently, Saeed Ghani had said that if Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah wanted to investigate the matter, he should do so.
Saeed Ghani, who was the provincial education minister at the time, had decided to buy 29,000 desks. He said that those who objected should go to the NAB. The decision in this regard is now to be made by the present Education Minister Sardar Shah.
On the other hand, Sindh Opposition Leader Haleem Adil Sheikh has said that the details of the desk contract have been removed from the CIPRA website.
He said that there was a quarrel among the government ministers over the issue of desk contract.
