ISLAMABAD: Despite tall claims of PTI Chairman Imran Khan about good governance, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has failed to deliver in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa during the last one year whereas the federal, Sindh and Balochistan governments too have scored poorly, the latest survey of PILDAT says.
Of the four provinces, only the Punjab scores significantly better in terms of governance. The provincial government’s work in its policy priority areas has been well received by the people of Punjab.
Similarly, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif received the highest ratings whereas the ratings of the remaining three provincial chief ministers remained in the negative.
In the latest report of Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development And Transparency (PILDAT), the first year of the federal and provincial governments has been judged through public opinion on quality governance in Pakistan.
The report says that the federal government’s efforts have been unable to register significant improvements in governance. The report says that the federal government’s governance performance has been evaluated negatively by the public, and 26 out of 30 governance indicators have received negative public evaluation.
The Punjab government received the lowest NPRs in energy production & management (-45%), poverty alleviation (-34%), anti-corruption (-31%), management of unemployment (-31%), and merit-based recruitment & promotions (-28%).
This implies that although the Punjab government has the best governance track record of any government (federal and provincial) in Pakistan, it still needs to convert and transfuse its capacity and achievements into improving the public perceptions of issues directly relevant to the ordinary citizen’s everyday life.
The report does not present a rosy picture of the PTI-led government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa as the provincial government has not been able to provide the kind of governance expected from it.
“PTI’s emergence as a strong political party in election 2013 was manifested by its impressive political performance in the KP provincial election, which installed the party’s government in Peshawar. The much-discussed PTI vs. PML-N political tussle in the country can also be interpreted through the performance comparison of the two respective provincial governments. The KP’s provincial government has not been able to register the same level of positive governance evaluation as the Punjab government, albeit it emerged as the second-best among the four provinces, trailing Punjab,” the report says.
The KP government achieved positive NPRs on six out of 27 provincial governance indicators covered in this study: transparency (+7%), utility bills collection (+11%), use of technology for better governance (+9%), immunisation of children (+8%), access to an efficient justice system (13%), and public transport (+3%).
However, the performance of the PTI-led government in the KP in most of the governance indicators remained negative. “KP’s provincial government scored the highest negative NPRs on: disaster preparedness & management (-45%), anti-corruption (-43%), education (-42%), quality and independence of civil service (-42%), merit-based recruitment and promotions (-41%), environmental sustainability (-40%), healthcare (-38%), tax collection (-38%), energy production and management (-37%), investment friendliness (-37%), and transparent and efficient public procurement (-35%). On 3 out of the 27 indicators, the KP government scored barely negative ratings: law & order (-8%), management of unemployment (-8%), and safe drinking water supply (-5%),” the report claims.
In comparing the two provincial governments, it appears that the Punjab government’s governance reforms and efforts have been far better received and evaluated by the people of Punjab when compared to the KP provincial government’s evaluation by the people of KP.
Of the four provinces evaluated and compared in this study for the respective provincial governments’ governance performance, the Sindh provincial government has emerged as the clear loser.
The people of Sindh evaluated the government of Sindh’s governance track record negatively on all 27 indicators included in this poll. This prevalent negativity in the province reflects the poor state of governance in the PPP-led provincial government.
The PML-N was elected for a second five-year term in Punjab through general election 2013. This feat in itself alludes to the successes in governance and administration that the Shahbaz Sharif administration has been able to register in the last six years. However, Chief Minister Balochistan Abdul Malik Baloch does not enjoy a high level of performance, according to the report.
