Proud moment for #ShaukatKhanum Lahore. Our Internal Medicine residency training programme has achieved #ACGME International accreditation, delivering the same rigorous standards of training as in the USA. Only the second institution in Pakistan to earn this recognition

In the year 2000, Pakistan’s per capita GDP, at purchasing power parity, was $2880, higher than India’s at $2010 and Bangladesh at $1620. We were 43% richer than an average Indian and 77% richer than an average Bangladeshi. Today we are at $6480, Bangladesh at $9180 and India at $12,560. So an Indian is 94% is richer than us and an average Bangladeshi is 42% richer than us. This is the most important story of our national governance system over the last 26 years.

In the last 4 years we have taken debt of Rs 40,000 billion. In the first 75 years we took debt of Rs 45,000 bn. Our tax revenues have doubled over the last four years and yet people today are poorer than in 2014/15 and 2018/19. 29% Pakistanis are poor (with monthly resources of less than Rs 8485). We eat less of all commodities, including atta and rice, meaning Pakistanis are going hungry. Of course we spend over Rs 400 crore to run the PM house and the President house.

Over this period we have seen Gen Musharraf, President Zardari, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan and Mian Shehbaz Sharif at the helm, along with a few caretakers. We have seen military, civilian and hybrid governments. What we have not seen is progress. None.

Education: 39% or over 2 crore 60 lakh kids are out of school. And a majority of kids in school cannot read, write or do arithmetic at their class level. Our education system is failing our kids and we are just spectators at this dismal state of affairs. Is there anyway a nation can develop without its kids being educated? Also Sindh govt just released billions in media ads.

Health: 7500 kids have been infected in Pakistan with HIV (that causes AIDS). Mostly due to used needles and unscreened blood. Pakistan has the second highest neonatal mortality rate in the world, worse than South Sudan, Eritrea and Chad. 40% of our children are stunted. 42% of our women have iron deficiency. 1 in 5 people in the world with Hepatitis is a Pakistani. Also Punjab govt recently bought a Rs 1100 crore plane and 4 Mercedes cars for over Rs 100 crore.

Our provinces are under civilian control since 2008. The NFC making them flush with cash came in 2009. The 18th amendment giving them new authorities came in 2010. But there isn’t a Provincial Finance Award in a single province. No political party (PTI, PPP or Noon) has established empowered local government. They won’t let go of power and cash.

Our system of governance has failed and failed completely. Awaam Pakistan party has been saying it from the day the party started.

Where do we go from here.
Empowered, federally financed and constitutionally protected LGs. Failing which smaller provinces. But now. We cannot afford to wait forever.

Direct elections to all executive offices in local governments and provinces. Essential for breaking the hold of fossilised political parties.

Reform of NFC. School vouchers for all poor kids. Forming of school boards with hiring and firing powers all in govt schools composing of parents and officials. Badly run govt hospitals to be transferred to trusts and govt to keep funding at current levels. Ending of lifetime employment for bureaucrats. You work, you stay. Or go home. No ghost workers or teachers.

Reduce the size of government. Move to economically efficient way of pricing power and gas so they become cheaper.

But parties that are part of the problem and beneficiaries of the system will not want to change. So they need to be removed from the govt. They weren’t fairly elected anyway.

National reconciliation.

Continuous and major reforms.

Otherwise our relative decline will continue. Hunger and illiteracy will become more widespread.

How we treat our leaders versus how we treat a most wanted drug dealer!

[Syed Talat Hussain @TalatHussain12]

Ministers mentioning "relief" even as they batter the public with backbreaking petro price hike is, to say the least, shameful. No less shameful is that they sit in front of the cameras and praise each other's performance before an audience whose majority lives in dire economic circumstances. The whole lot seems to think that a war victory is a license to treat the people and their issues with total derision. That's more than shameful.

[Miftah Ismail @MiftahIsmail]

Petrol and diesel prices have been increased by the Noon government by Rs 15 per litre each to Rs 415 per litre. The entire increase in both has been due to increase in levy and taxes. Not due to any increase in prices.

For petrol now we pay levy of Rs 120 per litre and for diesel Rs 45 per litre. In addition we pay about Rs 30 per litre as custom for diesel and Rs 20 as duty for petrol. So about 33% of the what you pay for petrol and 16% for diesel goes to the government.

Don’t let the government say that they are not passing on the total burden on the people and undertaking any austerity. The entire burden of price increases plus even more taxes are now being charged to the people.

[Ammar Ali Jan @ammaralijan]

Another cruel hike in petrol prices. Please remember that the govt gives at least Rs. 2700 billion annually in subsidies to banks, feudals, military corporations, IPPs, and real estate elites. Ordinary people are being forced to sacrifice their families for luxuries of elites.

[Miftah Ismail @MiftahIsmail]

Government last night increased the price of petrol by Rs 6.51 and diesel by Rs 19.39. Now the cost of both is about Rs 400 per litre.

In setting the new price, the govt decreased tax (levy) on petrol by Rs 3.88. But it also increased the tax (levy) on diesel by Rs 28.69 per litre.

So now Pakistanis are paying about Rs 120 in custom duties and taxes on every litre of petrol and Rs 60 on every litre of diesel. The Pakistani people will therefore pay, and our govt will earn, Rs 180 bn of duties, taxes and levies on selling petrol and diesel this month.

This sacrifice by the people allows one govt to buy a luxury new jet for billions, another to increase the cost of an unfinished (for 15 years!) water pipeline project from Rs 40 billion to Rs 400 billion and yet another govt to give 25 crore (Rs 43 bn in total) to each govt MNA to spend in his constituency.

The govt will ask you for more sacrifices next month!
