Why Pakistan's administrative system is failing

Is Pakistan's governance model failing to deliver?

The debate is no longer just about who governs Pakistan. It is about whether the country's administrative structure can effectively serve a population of more than 250 million people.

In this episode of On My Radar, we examine:

• Why the debate over new provinces and autonomous administrative units is gaining momentum
• Why Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and the PPP oppose the creation of new provinces
• Calls to strengthen Article 140A and empower local governments
• Why many experts believe governance, not resources, is Pakistan's biggest challenge
• How Rs14.4 trillion in development spending over the past four years has failed to improve schools, hospitals, roads and basic services
• Why critics argue stronger district governments and greater devolution are essential for better public service delivery

Featuring perspectives from:

• Ahsan Iqbal
• Miftah Ismail
• Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman

Is Pakistan better served by creating new provinces, or should the focus remain on stronger local governments?
