Re: Corruption …

One solution is to force ministers, members of parliament, bureaucrats (above grade 19), officers of the armed forces (above, say Lt. Col), etc. to have their children educated in Pakistan (unless receiving scholarships from abroad). They should be made to resign their posts if they want to send their children abroad for studies. I am sure they would do their utmost to improve standards in Pakistan on emergency basis and educate our ‘elite’.

KB , this is one of the best solutions I have heard so far … and it makes alot of sense … One of the major reasons for corruption is indeed the fact that politicians have set up their entire lives outside of pakistan. Once they are forced to live in the country and their kids and businesses to breed on the Pakistani soil, they will sincerely work for Pakistan.

I for one , will definitely be highlighting this point in all of my correspondence from now on … I dont know if it will eventually make a difference or not , but we should not resign to our fate and fighting back against the system is the option that most overseas pakistani’s have. We can afford to in everyway. Therefore fight , we must and try to bring about a change in that country.

Regards the capital punishment, I agree with you somewhat , that it wont be the most practical model, but at least corruption will get reduced by a significant percentage. At least at the grass root level… once some system cleansing happens … its easier to handle the big fish … its not going to happen in a day though.
