The Ministry of Education & Literacy Department of Sindh has responded to a tweet by Fatima Bhutto that criticised the provincial government for corruption.
In her tweet, Bhutto had posted a picture of an old and derelict building, referring to it as a ghost school located in Sajawal. She alleged that the ghost school was empty due to the corruption of the Sindh government.
The Sindh government responded by stating that a new building for the said school has been built 300 meters away from the abandoned building.
“It is again shared for your record that this is an abandoned structure built around 5 decades back, the new building has been built, some 300 meters near with three rooms and a lavatory block which is functioning smoothly. The pics are given for ready reference,” read the tweet by the Sindh Government. In the attached picture, a school building can be seen while in another photo, two toilets inside the school are visible.
“In Feb, I posted about the Sajawal govt ghost school that was empty and growing weeds out of its windows thanks to the rampant corruption of the Sindh government -if it can even be called that, since they don’t do even the barest minimum,” alleged Fatima in her tweet.
“An update: it’s still empty and still a ghost school two months later even though an official came to visit after @BhuttoZulfikar and I wrote about it. Nothing has been done. What teachers are registered as working here? They’re taking government salaries. We should know their names,”she added.
