Perks, Plots & Protocol: Worth the Hype? I سرکاری نوکری اور موج؟ I

The main incentive of being in the government seems to be distancing from
ordinary people and gaining wealth from non-transparent legal but unproductive sources. It is well known that government servants (except judges now) are cash-poor with salaries well below market comparators. But they are perks, plots, and protocol (PPP) rich with now even junior officials getting access to cars, houses, and other perks.
- There is a competition among civil servants to receive the highest PPP. Is that competition commensurate with public welfare or performance?
- All PPP are not equivalent nor are they abundantly available. Does this set up perk competition which probably is not the same as performance competition? Could perks be used as control devices by political and other masters?
- What is the economic and social cost of the perks and protocols to civil servants? How much fuel does the entourage consume while moving along with a minister? These and more are questions that need to be asked by the population and parliament. Yet the data on PPP provision is not made transparent.
- The cost of providing these perks and protocols to public sector employees is much higher than the return of employing them. There is no attempt to measure the costs of PPP, and any attempt is discouraged, and no data is made available.

اس پارلیمانی نظام کو تبدیل کرنا بہت ضروری ہے اس وقت میں پریشان ہو جاتا ہوں جب پوسٹنگ کے لئے ایک ڈی آئی جی Sp اور پولیس انسپکٹرز صاحب اور اے سی صاحبان جکو آپ عوامی نمائندگان کے ڈیروں پر دیکھیں تو پریشانی تو ہوتی ہے

[@tempuser109]

As an Indian, it's such a delight to see this , 75 years later the discussion is still about saving money on cars , plots and officers , PAKISTAN IS 25 YEARS BEHIND INDIA

Really great session. Giving the public a mindset to think about different perspectives that we miss.

[@drajayatri]

I am from India. A very good experience of listening this discussion. I will say,every question should be answered immediately.

[@PIDEOfficial]

Thanks for watching, you are tight.

[@waqasome]

In pakistan every civil servant and soldier thinks they deserve a plot after few years of service. they feel entitled and fight for it like its their birth right. we should stop allocating lands for co-op societies. Entire Pakistani land will be devoured but this greed of plot wouldn't end

[@AhmadKhan-te5rq]

I was introduced to PIDE and its research in the 1970s . Doctor Naqvi was its DG, followed by Dr. Sarfraz and Dr. Kamal with a team of several brilliant researchers. I have neither been in touch with PIDE's recent management. Hopefully, PIDE is delivering good research work for the GoP.

[@khaliddurrani6432]

How easily and candidly you people criticize even ostracize Bureaucracy and public servants. May it you were to expose the power, the perks, and excesses of Judges of the superior courts and the army generals.

The amount of corruption they do is nothing in comparison with perks, plot etc.

[@arshaddurrani3885]

Those addressing the listeners are pillars of the framework which sustain the colonial setup.They are among the privileged of this country and have no connection with the masses.Even their language is incomprehensible by the ordinary Pakistani.

[@mha8252]

Not all civil servents , only some elite civil service group.

What about perks and privileges of army officers? Do you have any idea? The civil bureaucrats stand nowhere in terms of the privileges of army officers.

[@Aliraza-fz4pp]

Modi has also ended free media and democracy.

[@tempuser109]

​@@Aliraza-fz4ppmuslims in India were used to special treatment, now they are politically irrelevant, that why so much crying , we have reached a point where no major political party wants to be seen as a muslim party , muslims are untouchables

[@narendersheoran5102]

@Aliraza-fz4pp no election or election result have been rejected by any opposition, in centre or in any of states, and remember a lot of states are governed by congress and other political parties with real power. Everyone can and should have the birthright to have a political opinion but don't just call out " death of democracy " , every time lose. It becomes "the boy who cried wolf".

[@harrybv]

Wth is a hinu moghul mindset. Haha the first speaker spent all time defending his ilk. No space for reform clearly.

[@rummanfaruqi2661]

Pide has forgotten about economics and engaging in shafafiat. We are far from the Gloria's days of Nurul Islam and mahbub ul Haq when PIDE was a policy influencer. Should tax payers continue to pay for this talk. Doubt it. Needs to go on sunset list unless we have toot and branch reform
