According to the Auditor General of Pakistan report 2025, financial irregularities worth Rs 370 million detected in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) government helicopter repair process. The audit highlights that these funds spent during the financial year 2023-24 on helicopter repairs and the purchase of spare parts by the Establishment and Administration Department KPK.
The report points out that the tendering process for these expenditures did not comply with the procurement rules and procedures set by the government. Letters seeking clarification on these irregularities sent twice to the department, but no official response received. The audit terms this silence and lack of transparency as serious mismanagement.
Authorities are considering referring the case to NAB (National Accountability Bureau) or other relevant investigative agencies for further inquiry. The audit report 2025 KPK helicopter case recommends an immediate investigation into the matter to determine responsibility and recover the funds.
The findings on KPK helicopter repair irregularities come at a time when scrutiny over public funds and government spending is increasing. The report indicates violations of standard operating procedures in the award of contracts and procurement of helicopter spare parts.
