Congratulations on winning this week's POTW (Time Pass & Sports)!

My satisfaction level:


Accountability - 110%
Foreign Affairs - 100%
Economy - 80%
Education - 50%
Health - 100%
Climate - 90%
Water & Power - 110%
Local govnt - 20%
Police - 0%
Institutions - 10%
Karachi - -10%

Some places the government had outstanding performance such as making NAB independent and empowered enough to catch all big fishes.

They have also taken necessary steps to turn around the economy and the signs are beginning to show, current account deficit is plummeting and exports grew 14% in July while imports dropped like 30%. Revenues also grew 15% in the first month of the fiscal year, while number of tax filers has reached unprecedented numbers.

On the foreign affairs front the government was an outright winner but their performance is looking better considering the fact that Nooras didn't even have a foreign affairs minister during their 5 years.

Lots of things are happening on the health front with all hospitals in KPK being linked together on a common database and records of all medical staff being digitized, capacity building and improvement of hospitals in Punjab as well as introduction of universal health insurance under the Sehat Insaf Card for the poorest of the country. The health insurance is expected to reach 100 million people by the end of the fiscal year.

In education the government lagged behind, they introduced madrasa reforms to bring them in the mainstream and also are in the process of drafting a new curriculum for primary and secondary schools. Punjab education minister introduced an online platform that handles transfer of teachers and thereby eliminated the corruption that took place when teachers wanted to get transferred (it was an epidemic). The process of registering all teaching staff on an online platform is also ongoing in Punjab in order to track their competency and training. However, I would have liked to see more emphasis on school improvement and hiring of qualified teachers. Negative points for Punjab switching over to Urdu medium from next academic year :facepalm:


For the first time a government has created a ministry of climate change and they have banned plastic bags in Isloo for starters and will be moved to all provinces in the next phase. They are also implementing the plantation of 10 billion trees, which will be a mammoth task and achievement if they manage to do it. Policy for electric cars coming soon.

Loadshedding has been nearly eliminated and power thieves being systematically apprehended. Automated metering also being introduced in a phased manner which will be a revolutionary step. Mohammad Dam construction has started and Dasu and Bhasha will also start soon. All these dams should have been made in the 80s and 90s or even in the 2010s but we had jamhooriat taking revenge on us.

The skeletons of a new local government system had been announced but PTI government said they will hold elections within one year, why not just hold the elections asap and get on started with the work. This will bring so much good will for the government. Sadly priorities are elsewhere. Not satisfied.

Nothing happened on the police front. Very bad.

Some degree of institutional reforms took place and are taking place but more needs to be done. Pakistan Post and NHA are rapidly improving all thanks to young minister Murad Saeed. PIA is still crap. Railways is improving but not as quickly as required. PTV earned a profit this year first time in a millenia. Radio Pak still sucks. Steel Mills is not even worth the land its built on. Bureaucracy reform didn't take place or get initiated.

Last but not least, Karachi, we Karachiites gave 15 seats to PTI and are the reason why PTI is in government but seems like all previous governments we have been left to the mercy of PPP waderas who are elected because of the slaves of interior Sindh. No effort was made to tighten the noose around PPP to improve governance in the economic engine of the country or make Karachi a federally administered city.

Some notable mentions, Pakistan Citizens Portal is an excellent, innovative initiative already bearing fruit. Naya Pakistan Housing scheme is also a very ambitious yet important project that was started and finally Presidential Initiative for Artificial Intelligence & Computing is LOVE maybe because it pertains to my field.

Overall I'm somewhat satisfied.

Sorry for long post :kp
 
Good post, but would disagree with the health sector

Just 2 days ago govt released a notification where every single medical test will have a fee.

if you are a poor person, then you can get that zakat thingy, but even for that you have to get many signatures that takes up months. So how exactly is health 100%?

Govt workers living in Karachi or other cities have to travel all the way to Islamabad Pims to get there free treatment, and these are those poor govt workers who have to take trains and busses.

Pmln were known to be jokers when it came to Foreign policy
 
Another great post by one of my fav poster... Congrats bro
 
Nice post. It is frustrating to see no police reforms by PTI government. We need a strong professional Army like police to bring stability.
 
Congrats.

It would be interesting to see a similar post from somebody living in Pakistan too.
