The solution to concentrated powers and lack of good governance is effective local Govts whose minimum powers & funds are underwritten by a constitutional amendment. New provinces are costly & may provoke fresh round of political turmoil. New provinces? dawn.com/news/1935090

اگر مقصد اختیارات کو نچلی سطح تک منتقل کرنا ہے تو پھر نئے صوبوں کی کھکھیڑ میں پڑنے کی بجائے مقامی حکومتوں کو آئینی ترمیم کے ذریعے موثر اور بااختیار بنانا پڑے گا تاکہ ان کے انتخابات بروقت ہوں اور ان کے اختیارات اور فنڈنگ کی ضمانت دی جاسکے! New provinces? dawn.com/news/1935090

#PakLeaders think new provinces will magically fix governance. In reality, they’ve destroyed local govts, hoarded power, & fueled corruption. The problem isn’t geography, it’s a rotten system. احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob dawn.com/news/1935090/n…

Just another excuse to waste money while citizens suffer. 1/ Raza Ahmad Rumi احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob dawn.com/news/1935090/n…

Creating more provinces means more palaces, more perks, more posts, not better governance. Pakistan’s elite want expansion of their power, not devolution to the people. Let’s not get fooled by the facade of governance. احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob dawn.com/news/1935090/n…

احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob The timing of the debate is questionable. As we deal with the resurgence of terrorism, an ailing economy, which is just about showing signs of improvement and an explosive geopolitical situation, one wonders if the creation of new provinces should really be on our agenda.

احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob In the context of today’s Pakistan, the real question is whether creating new provinces is really the most cost-effective and practical way to achieve the objective of better governance and devolution of powers. Apparently, the answer is in the negative.

احمد بلال محبوبAhmedBilalMehboob There is a much simpler option available for achieving the objective of devolution and administrative efficiency — making the local governments effective, while underwriting their continuity and funding through a constitutional amendment.

If the forwarded document is genuine, it firmly establishes that RSS never participated in any Anti-British movement from 1925-1947 which destroys RSS credentials, if ever existed, as a participant in the Indian freedom struggle.

Is ‘New Provinces Campaign’ the first serious challenge to ‘One Page’?
