Analysis of The Devolution plan
The devolution plan designed to provide democracy at the grass root level has not worked well.Such a devolution at local level is quite good for the countries having high literacy rate and possessing democratic norms , yet it has not provided the results set by its mentors in pakistan.
(1)It has ensued a tug of war between district and province.
(2)It has strengthened biradri politics and feudalism in pakistan.
(3)The move to empower people has actually empowered the privileged class more than the common man.
(4)It has brought corruption at the grass root level instead of democracy.There were bids for the votes to elect district and tehsil nazims.
(5)It has made the election process a dearly game.The expenditure incurred for the UC nazim was far more than the election of a provincial assembly member.So it has become a game for the millionaires.
(6)It has rendred bureaucracy toothless and given enormous powers to the political executive.
Its adverse implications and recommendations will be discussed shortly.
regards
