Technocrat: Any person with expertise in particular field. In technocrat government, technocrats are appointed on political key positions like Ministers. For example: Railway minister will be a person who is Railway expert or any other expert related to railways. Shaukat Aziz was a technocrat. His expertise is finance & economics and he was Finance Minister during 12 October 1999 to 15 November 2007. |

but the problem is these technocrats are not electable since we cast our votes on the basis of face value not how much a person is able to hold that office. |

According to wikipedia, Technocracy is a political movement which originated in North America. As much as I can understand it, in simplest of words, it aims at creating a robotic society of humans by applying scientific method to solve social problems . Currently our societies are controlled by economic, political, moral and philosophical approaches revolving around values, profitability and opinions . Further simplification would be 'government of the professionals, by the professionals, for the professionals' .

I will not give a direct comment on whether it is right or wrong.
I will give an example in this regard. When any professional emigrant applies for UK/USA citizenship. His character over all in the society is considered. What role he is playing? Had he ever got busted? If yes, then for what reasons etc... Then after viewing his complete social profile he is awarded with the citizen ship...His Technicality in his field matters for about 5-10 percent only... What happens in democracy? (Not in Pakistan's or 3rd world countries, in modern world)...Same thing is taken into consideration. To what extent the particular person is interested in his society and to what extent he can be a good change agent if people select him. A Good doctor is not necessarily a good man in the society. His decisions will not necessarily be inclined towards the betterment of people. This is the point where technocracy fails.
