As I keep saying in Pakistan we have worked very hard to maintain the colonial system for our brown elite that has inherited it. Not surprisingly the main beneficiaries of this colonial system are the ones mort invested in preserving it—the civil service, the judiciary and the army.
Civil Service Reform remains a big issue and we will continue to explore it with as many people as possible. I would urge all young people to think about it, research it and write about it.
Here we take up the issue with Hasaan Khawar a young Pakistani who has been a civil servant and is now a consultant and a development practitioner.
We will have 3 conversations with him to try to keep the podcast shorter.
Here is the first.
