The Role of Local Governments in Development
Seeing the pitiful state of development in Pakistan, Adnan Rafique pitches for robust local governments in the country. He believes that a bottom-up approach must be implemented in true letter and spirit, for people to attain maximum health and security. He considers the reasons for the lagging local governments to be the non-observance of Article 140A, inadequate zoning laws, and the unsatisfactory tax collection system – among others.
