The government is contemplating a major restructuring by bringing in experts from the local and international markets to replace the current cadre of federal secretaries with the aim of enhancing governance efficiency. International lenders have advised adopting best governance practices where bureaucrats facilitate the private sector based on research and data-driven decision-making.
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has already brought in a federal secretary from the private sector, with other key ministries expected to follow suit. The Special Investment Facilitation Council has highlighted the need for a more capable bureaucracy to propel the country forward.
The proposal includes setting yearly targets for top bureaucrats and evaluating performance based on outcomes and problem-solving. Additionally, powers may shift to ministers, making them accountable to the cabinet, prime minister, and parliament.
The recent appointment of a PAS officer at the Federal Board of Revenue did not align with lenders’ expectations, who stress the importance of data-driven decision-making in revenue collection. The government is urged to institutionalize the hiring of consulting firms and base decision-making on targeted studies to modernize the economy effectively.
By adopting a more efficient and modern governance structure, Pakistan can overcome prevailing challenges and move towards sustainable development.
