A monitoring system for Local Governments in Pakistan
Contents:
Dear reader, please upgrade to the latest version of IE to have a better reading experience. Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday constituted a committee to recommend within a week a proposal for a new local government structure that will be scrutinised and presented before the provincial assemblies to initiate the required legislation process within a month.
While presiding over a meeting at PM Office, Mr Khan said that new laws must be prepared within a week so that they could be enforced in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — the provinces where his PTI has its government. At the meeting, which was also attended by the chief ministers of three of the four provinces besides federal and provincial ministers and secretaries, Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary gave separate briefings on the local government system.
Another round of discussion on the matter will be held on Monday today when it will be decided if the union councils would continue to exist in the new system or they would be replaced by village councils. Mr Khan said the past practice of centralisation of power had deprived the people of any meaningful say in government affairs. It was learnt that the prime minister endorsed the new system proposed by the information minister and decided that after completion of the tenure of the current local bodies, the district government would cease to exist.
Instead there would be tehsil governments to be headed by tehsil mayors whereas city mayor would head the whole system of tehsil governments in a city. He said in the direct election system people cast two votes at a time and the candidates for the office of city and tehsil mayors would have to get at least 51 per cent votes. Mr Kamal said people would not be able to understand direct voting system but the prime minister was of the opinion that the system of direct election of mayor should be implemented so that funds could be utilised by the mayors instead of members of national and provincial assemblies.
About the proposal to replace union councils with village councils, the information minister told the meeting it would not be possible to provide infrastructure for 56, villages in the country. In a separate meeting, PM Khan directed the relevant officials to chalk out a comprehensive action plan in consultation with all stakeholders within 48 hours for the security of Zaireen visiting holy places in Iran, Iraq and other countries during the coming month of Muharram. Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan, Minister of State for Interior Shahryar Afridi, secretary to prime minister, interior secretary, religious affairs secretary, Balochistan chief secretary and senior government officers also attended the meeting.
PM Khan said no effort should be spared in providing fool-proof security and proper facilities to the Zaireen.

He directed the relevant officials that immigration counters at Pakistan-Iran border should be enhanced to facilitate speedy immigration process. He also directed them that a permanent mechanism be evolved to streamline the entire process. In this context, the prime minister directed the state minister for interior to coordinate with the chief minister of Balochistan and other stakeholders, including the security forces and ministry of religious affairs, to streamlining the process and ensure provision of maximum facilities to the Zaireen.
He said a comprehensive time-bound action plan with delineated responsibilities be submitted to him for his approval. Kindly dnt ut encroachment under the hands of political nazims etc. Give it to neutral civil admin. Perfect vision and strategy for emerging Pakistan! Empower our people and youth!

I couldn't believe that Ch Sarwar opposed direct election of mayors in the country. Hats off to Imran Khan. More power to the people. I hope there will be a system of checks and balances so the mayors do not use the funds for personal gain. We should have our own LG system. If a policy model or system has worked successfully in UK, it does not mean the same will work here.

Not to mention lack of accountability at lower level and bringing small fish out of water. You are just increasing corrupt people if you dont have strong observatory and accountability bodies. It would be good move to empower the village councils and transfer union developmental assistance directly to them. Every village should chalk out development plan as per their own need and priority and Union Govt should support help them in this regard. This will also reduce corruption and syphoning of funds mid way. Looks like IK is on the right track. The only thing we Indians have experienced is that Modi too does the right thing, but at times he pushes things so fast that the implementation suffers thus creating chaos at least initially, e.
Similarly, IK's order to form new laws in week can end up giving you long term headache in spite of all good intentions. IMHO, give adequate time for forming the laws. Best luck to IK and Pakistan from India.

News says 'recommend within a week a proposal for a new local government structure that will be scrutinised and presented before the provincial assemblies to initiate the required legislation process within a month. I appreciate the intended speed but a well thought out plan which can be used in long term is better.

Under the mainframe of the Supreme Judicial Council Article an inquiry into the capacity or conduct of a Judge, who is a member of the Council, may be conducted. High courts have original and appellate jurisdiction. Building democracy in South Asia: The main difference is that Pakistan is the only country with an urban framework, as well, in the region today; and Pakistan's system has common-representational framework between tiers as Montreal and Birmingham also have in two-tier context—even though Birmingham is working on implementing a three-tier system ; and, it has a bottom-up representational framework like the Canadian example. In , Asif Ali Zardari was elected president. It seems the present government is doing the wonderful job thanks to IK.
