The PTI-led coalition government has already begun transforming the provinces landscape in terms of initiating measures including laws to improve the lives of the people, especially the poor, the dispossessed , the old and the widowed and the future of the country – the youth and children.
A major achievement of the PTI-led government has been the complete depoliticisation of the police so that undue favour and harassment of the poor does not take place. Police morale, always destroyed by political interference and nepotism, has risen as a result of this depoliticisation and an end to corruption within the police force through strict measures including accountability of police officers.
Health and education sectors are also witnessing major reforms including a reformed public school curriculum to match the private sector.
28 Bills have been introduced by the PTI in the Provincial Assembly and the following 23 have already been passed:
• The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Hotels Restriction (Security) Bill,2014
• The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tenancy (amendment) Bill,2014
• The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Housing Athourity Bill,2014

Even a short glance at these 23 laws will make it clear how PTI has begun implementing its Manifesto of change despite the adverse security environment prevailing in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. We challenge the other provinces to show such progress in terms of bringing about change for the betterment of the lives of the ordinary people in these provinces.
