Count reaches 29
Probe finds 29 lawmakers faked degrees
Tuesday, 13 Jul, 2010
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani civil servants said Tuesday that at least 29 MPs lied about their academic qualifications as part of an inquiry into allegations that hundreds of lawmakers faked their degrees.
The Supreme Court ordered the investigation after more than a dozen lawmakers were found in possession of fake degrees.
We received 936 degrees, out of which verification of 511 degrees has been completed and 29 invalid degrees have been found, Mehmood Raza, an adviser for the higher education commission, told a news conference.
Raza refused to name the MPs who submitted fake certificates in order to present themselves as eligible to contest elections.
The commission will present its full report to lawmakers on July 16.
Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf introduced rules for 2008 polls that required elected officials to hold a bachelor's degree. The condition was later waived by President Asif Ali Zardari's government.
But the supreme court, which has frequently taken a stance against Zardari's unpopular civilian government, ordered that qualifications of all those who contested the 2008 elections be checked.
Any member of parliament whose degree is found to be invalid will be unseated and an election held to replace them.
i guess he knew something we didnt!
What? That there was a need to remove people that were unacceptable to him? That only 4.7% of the appropriate-age people attend a university and therefore violating the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right of > 95% of the population to stand for public office?
Might as well create the electoral systems of early 19th century Europe where the franchise/suffrage was limited to nobles and capitalist men only.
Parliamentarians and legislators committing fraud and forgery to fill a requirement that had no legal basis neither means that the requirement was somehow beneficial (disregarding its legal position altogether) nor does it equate to some foresight.
Sir in India we don't have any rule that only an educated person has to contest in polls, infact lot of MP are below degree level educated i think though i don't have actual statistics with me now. In this thread i came to know that Mr. Musharaf made this rule, so why wasn't it abolished later?? also this seems to be a bad thing for people uneducated since they cannot contest. I hope u can throw some light on this part of the story. Appreciate ur reply.

would u agree with me that our parliamentarians have no idea about what 'public service' is - read up the 7 rules of public service or shd i write them down for you!
THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC LIFE
1. SELFLESSNESS - holders of public office shd take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. they shd not do so to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family or friends.
where do our parliamentarians stack up against no-1 or shd i continue.
Who in the entire world can stack up to the seven principles?
Don't force me to go on a derailing tone. You know it's not a welcome outcome of any debate.
