Local Government in Pakistan: A Panacea? I EconFest Debate

Local governments (LGs) have been a perennial unresolved issue in Pakistan. Efficient public service delivery requires LGs. Many would contend that there is no real democracy without LGs.
We would like you to consider:
How and what kind of LGs should we get?
Are LGs compatible with the inherited colonial structures? If not, what reform is required?
How should financial and operational powers be devolved?
How should cities and metropolitan areas be treated differently than
rural areas in defining the role of LGs?
What election systems should be used?

If you ask me, I would suggest a federal government and then a local government system, no provincial governments needed.

[@ibratnak]

The liberals and leftists work hard to knock some sense into the public, but in the end the far-right cult leader takes all. Before 2008, even Imran Khan used to talk like the blokes sitting here, but then someone taught him to repeat "iyakanabudu waiyakanastaeen", keep a tasbeeh in his hand, and utter "madina ki riyasat" after every 10 sentences. Let me be the bearer of bad news: true revolution won't come with guys like Ammar Ali Jan, but with a charismatic psychopath who links his own prosperity with the nation's.

[@abdul-azizusmani149]

Neither federal, nor provincial governments want a vibrant local government system. It specifically threatens justification to have provincial governments. Therefore, forget all about it.
