The political parties have been busy in solidifying own bank accounts. The civilian government departments never function in the proper way. Just a handful departments are functioning well and that also because they are always in direct contact with media, RESCUE 1122, Motorway Police etc.
There is no proper checks on any government department/officer and had it not been the media which keeps an eye on everything, the public would have been unaware and filled with misinformation.
In 1990’s and even after that, Armed Forces were sometimes called up to do the job of civilian government departments, e.g. Bhal safai (cleaning of streams and lakes in Punjab). The model,checks and balances and penalties for goverment officials should be strict in the same manner of the Armed Forces to atleast make the system as such that the culprit pays the price.
From the peon to directors, the system works in a well defined fashion which asks for money for any legal task and huge amounts for any illegal task. Nothing is impossible in Pakistan. The Political parties bring their own clowns as department heads and they know they have a 2 year or so term , so from the word GO, they start looting the public money.
The laws have been made as such that they can be bended or challenged as free-willed. Then again, the political parties use the law for own agendas.The favourite police SHO’s and the judges are posted where to control certain police stations as well as courts.
MNA’s and MPA’s use the resources for personal reasons and these “positions” are sometimes bought. Imagine, if a SHO pays atleast 5 lacs to bring a certain “picket” or “checkpoint” in his area of Police Station to “loot” the commuters and drivers through “checking”, how much would a post of MNA/MPA be!
Elections have always been rigged, external parties from US and KSA play their own part, and internally, sometimes politicians are paid to lose also, and paid handsomely, because the party in power will gather 10 times more in ruling term.
The system as such needs to be changed, but no one would change it because it favours everyone who runs it.
