Pakistan has preserved its colonial legacy. We have failed to reform any of our colonial institutions including the colonial laws.
The question we would ask you to confront are:
Do we have adequate separation of legislature and executive?
Do we need to limit size of the cabinet beyond what we envisaged in the 18th amendment which was not followed? Should we have more than a
dozen ministries in the federation?
Should there be limits on political employment, especially in light of PIDE research on the Cost of Public Employment?
How can we depoliticize the civil service? Should the political masters be
allowed to transfer and appoint civil servants?
Should we have tribes of civil service? Should we continue with CSS exam?
Are our elections capable of getting rid of dynasties? Should there be term and family limits for parliamentarians?
How can the continuity and empowerment of local governments and city administrations be ensured? Can it be done in the presence of DCs and Commissioners that are owned by the federal civil service? Or do we require a rethinking of our whole civil service structure?
How can we improve electoral processes with staggered elections, direct Senate elections, and voting reforms like compulsory and e-voting?
What changes are needed in bureaucratic recruitment, compensation, and processes to eliminate inefficiencies and outdated practices?
How can we grant autonomy to agencies, decentralize budget control, and set clear goals for better performance and transparency?
