Institutional reform: the key is civil service reform (ENGLISH)

Umer Gilani is a young lawyer who has been involved in litigation on behalf of engineers and professionals to end discrimination against them in contesting for senior government positions.

In the current colonial system, all senior positions are reserved for the PAS/DMG, regardless of skill and training. Thus, Secretary WAPDA needs no specialized training, nor does Chairman FBR or any other leading positions.  All are reserved for PAS/DMG.

Is this our government model for the challenges of 21stcentury?

We discuss issues of civil service reform with Umer Gilani.
