Discourse at Provincial Services Academy Peshawar on 12 February, 2019
Devolution of powers to grass root level is so important that it has been emphasized again in ConstitutionDo the 3 levels work as envisaged, is a separate question altogetherThese portfolios are arranged in Departments & can be arranged in any form or number – but have to be taken care of
Why should autonomous bodies still move through Departments and/or what can be the alternate is a question yet to be answered
Special Secretaries should not be the 5th tier in heirarchy, rather have separate & exclusive subjects
Parent creator of Commissionerates, Districts, Tehsils is Revenue law, and not administrative. Some Departments like Forest donot follow these boundaries Should CM have these powers or the Cabinet, exercising arbitrary control over elected people is a question
