ISLAMABAD: A frustrated Dr Ishrat Hussain is parting ways with the government because his significant work on reforms, despite having been approved by the cabinet, faces implementation challenges because of a lack of political will among those enjoying executive authority. Although, he did not cite any such reason for his departure in what was shared with the media, informed sources say that the government’s chief reformer was upset that although he had produced a comprehensive set of reforms after a detailed consultative process and got it approved from the cabinet, the implementation of the reforms remained elusive. Sources say that Hussain had spoken to the prime minister a number of times to address the issue of the bureaucracy’s politicization, particularly in Punjab, as it had seriously hurt performance and service delivery. However, the situation remained unchanged.
