Description

Pakistan has been facing a unique and difficult dilemma for quite some time. Government leaders of the day are unhappy that they are unable to deliver upon the commitments they had made to the electorate at the time of the elections. The political leaders complain that the policy formulation is weak, Policy-Performance Gap is widening every day, and implementation of decisions almost non-existent. The bureaucrats are unhappy that they are not allowed to do their job because of interference by the politicians. The citizens and society are highly disenchanted and dissatisfied as they are unable to access basic services the state has to provide to each citizen – Security of life and property, administration of justice, education, healthcare, water, sanitation, infrastructure, electricity, gas, prices stability etc. Consequently, credibility of each successive government is eroding rapidly among the public at large creating trust deficit in the political leadership and democratic form of governance.
