GOOD GOVERNANCE

Introduction:-

When there is a rule of law and the writ of the state prevails everywhere. When the government establishes peace and brings developmental projects for the betterment of its people and makes the state strong, When such a government prepares people-centric policies and then implements them with full honesty and zeal, When the government transforms the state into a welfare state. We call such a rule as "Good Governance" .But unfortunately, the situation in Pakistan is totally opposite.

• The failure to introduce transparency in the country, Pakistan's government and civil services are undermining governance and providing opportunities for the military to subvert the democratic transition as well as to the extremists to destabilize the state. Pakistan's major crisis, presently, is that of a poor governance which has spawned many of the ills that plagued the country; insecurity, growing poverty, widening class divide, corruption and paralysis of the administration.


• Military intervened on its self-assured role of savior on several occasions, but it has not only failed to rectify the problem, rather confounded them.
Militants pose a bigger challenge than military, since they do not operate in a structured environment. They do not offer a solution but appeal to the religiosity of the people who are the victims of the poor governance, corruption, inaptitude of the civil servants, of the politicians and all the other branches and unfavorable steps of the government

Measures Necessary for Establishment of Good Governance:-

1. Increase in the salaries of Civil servants.

2. Long lasting economic policies.

3. Check by media.

4. Empowering local government.

5. Reducing the discretionary powers of Civil servants and making them answerable for each of their steps.
