Ok say if I had an authority to make a change in Pakistan. These are just few of the many steps I would like to make.
- 20,000 rupees of tax imposed for each child born with the first 2 babies exempted
- Education budget should be around 5% of the GDP regardless of the poor condition of Pakistanis
- Health budget should be at least 3% of the GDP
- Defence budget should remain below 2% of the gdp or 8-12% of the total budget (whichever is smaller)
- Increase the number of provinces from 4 to 28 (or even more) by dividing Punjab in 8 provinces, Balochistan in 6, Sindh for 6, KP for 4, giving official recognition/status of province to FATA, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir and possibly divided in 3-4 provinces.
- It also means raising the number of courts from 5 to 28? High Courts for each province so justice can be served faster, also raising the number of judges in Supreme Court to about 100 or something and of course a lot more work at district level
- Introduce new structure of salaries for example the salary of the MNA should linked with the salary of college professor, the salary of MPA should be equal to the salary of school teacher. The salary of the Senior Police Officer should be similar to the salary of the district judge etc.
- Impose agriculture tax on upper-middle/elite class by introducing the law that the first 10 tons of wheat/rice/whatever production is exempted from the tax (for family/relatives) and pay 15% tax for the reminder of the production for each farmer. Imagine you produce wheat worth 10 million rupees, pay 1.5 million rupees in taxes
- Abolishing all the royalties given to government employees of different sector. For example save 14 billion rupees of PIA by not giving any free tickets to her staff and VIP's. The employees of WAPDA will have to pay the bill of the household and will no longer get free electricity. You pay for what you use - simple as that
