Top Governance Policy Challenge Faced by Pakistan Today [250 words]

[dawoodahmad]

Good governance in any country of the world depends upon the right balance among pillars of the state. This balance is severely disturbed in Pakistan by having no concept of mutual consensus or integration between the legislature, executive and judiciary. The nature of civil-military relationship is vivid in terms of authority which affects the determination of boundaries for every organ of the state.

The citizens of Pakistan suffer seriously from these structural deficiencies because they restrict optimum production and distribution of public goods and services. The whole infrastructure is disturbed because the real centers of powers in Pakistan are traditional rather than their roots being in public. The governance history of Pakistan elaborates that confrontation between judiciary and executive benches, the dictatorship-democracy game have made the state so weak that it is unable to establish the rule of law and secure property and lives of the citizens.

People select the parliamentarians and later they are humiliated at the hands of public institutions. A policy that strengthens the governance by bridging-up the gap of red-tapism between public and institutions, limiting every organ within its statuary boundaries, and most important by concentrating real power in hands of public; is a real challenge and can only be addressed when policy is much inclined towards people which are the real governing body of the state. Governance becomes perfect when government is afraid of its people not the vice-versa.
