no need for blanket authoritarianism, we need:
1. Presidential system(with a lot of vetting, a guardian council, but containing experts form all walks of life, with the authority to just vet the presidential nominees and nothing else, and the president and the cabinet must not belong to a political party).
2. Political parties can compete for parliament(again after extreme vetting, maybe even after qualifying tests on policy making and administration), and even then there would be proportional representation.
3. same thing for provincial govt, governor chosen like the president, parliament chosen like that in the centre.
4. devolution of powers to City/Local bodies, weakening of provincial govt, strengthening of city/local govts. The provincial govt can provide oversight, and will be responsible for anti-corruption actions in cities, also for inter city coordination (resource/utility sharing, transport network etc.), fed govt can step in if the provincial govt acts in a biased maner. the fed govt, similarly, will check up on corruption in provinces, regulate inter province issues etc. and will be responsible for financial policies, foreign policy, industrial policy, defence.
5. Referendum for any and all laws to be passed, any and all amendments to be made. if the said law/amendment affects a group of people, then only that group will be eligible to vote in it (will increase public representation, and accountability).
6. Also, end one person, one vote system. only those with sound mind and education(at least intermediate) should be eligible for voting.
7. Accountability for judges, politicians, military, civil service etc to be handled by the civilian govt.
8. end feudal system, redistribute land.
9. end spreading of cities, encourage building of apartment complexes (take help from singapore for city planning), build new smart cities.
10. city govt to be responsible for attracting investment by industries (again, modalities to be set by the fed govt), police, fire deptt, infrastructure etc.
11. no need fro new provinces, if city govts are powerful, and the provincial govt is weak.
oh also, incentivize local production, made in pakistan initiatives, give tax holidays (gst, fed, taxes and duties on utilities, duty and taxes on import of raw materials) for at least 2 decades (duty and taxes on raw materials that cant be made in Pakistan to be extended indefinitely).
