A retired General as Administrator Karachi under CM Sindh?

[PaklovesTurkiye]

Hello,

Guys, Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar will leave office by end of month and there are confirmed rumors that PTI is asking for ALL powerful, non political and independent administrator for Karachi.

Do you guys really think this would become reality?

If Mayor/administrator happens to be from army then I do believe PPP will NEVER dare to sabotage or play politics on anything.

I also believe Karachi needs to be free for certain time from this political bickering.

We want work and development not circus. A neutral non political guy is best fit, it seems.

A man from army as administrator Karachi would certainly be a welcome news.

About time, establishment gets serious about world's SEVENTH largest city and country's financial hub. It is a criminal neglect on part of establishment to ignore Karachi like this.

Karachi needs urgent attention. It's a ticking time bomb. Otherwise it would BLOW right on your face. No need to create another new fault line for Indians to exploit.

Regards,

I don't support army person given such role. I see this as ppp strongly playing their victim card now.

The only way is to amending the constitution so that these ppp and PMLN clowns can never hide behind constitution. Amend it and make nazims responsible for developing their areas, fund them directly.

You trying to solve the issue in rush and im afraid it will create a bigger monster if not done properly. There is a parliament and just like these corrupt clowns abuse parliament and do amendments which allow their black doings, pti could use the same means and bring a long term change, this will also ensure stable change.

Why retired Army? Yeh log asmaan say utray hain - that pretty much every position goes to them?

For the time being, Army dude is best option and PPP won't cry on him OPENLY.

Yes, long term solution is exactly the one, you are describing.

A strong local government just like other mega cities have.

PTI can bring Army chap with support of establishment like they brought NDMA here.

They are, most of the time, more competent and neutral than political circus and given the coverage Karachi receives in media - even an army dude will think twice in slipping here and there.

For time being, to end all this bickering, we need an competent army dude to take over Karachi.

Just finished listening to PM IK interview excerpt on Karachi.

He just blamed Sindh govt
... we are going courts for local body system =lollypop
... we are planning to give development funds = lollypop



Karachi remains orphan as usual.

Tabdeel for everyone except Karachi.

Bhutto ka baad ab PTI zinda hai.

only gernals are admins in this country ?

My personal request to every Karachiite:

Find ways to migrate abroad, forget development. Only torments will come here.

If you have financial means migrate to some good place.

Dear, this is not a solution for our community. How many can migrate?

Did our forefathers left South Asia when it was under Gora Raj?

Change is the only constant, it will come.

If not general then of major or lieutenant rank so that PPP cant be able to play dirty.

It is a reality. Politicians fear army in this country.

I am willing to give PTI more time. They still have 3 years.

They can uplift Karachi. I believe, Imran is serious on Karachi.

He is not the one who fools people.

Brother, grab Sunday newspaper and read every govt Karachi based institution job. You will be shocked to find no seats for Urban Sindh.

I can start the discrimination debate but I wont because this is not suitable time nor place.

The PTI govt is not in mood to reverse the 18th amendement, playing with the sentiments of people of Karachi.

Now coming back to the migration, while its not a solution for whole but at least a few families can escape this desert city with no respect for basic human rights.

I get it what you're saying but this is Pakistan - Things take time here.

Never lose hope for sake of your community.

Have faith in Allah. Ye Waderay bhi sukoon se nh hain. Khuaar ho rahe hain courts mein

Apna time ayega, IA.

Mayoosi is form of kufr.

Only thing that keeps me going.

I don't think it matters too much who is placed in charge. The political infrastructure is not there in the first place. Let's say it's an army guy, let's assume he's x10 more competent than any civilian esp the Sindh administration. How will he enact any of the changes needed? How is he going to organise local resources? At best he can squabble to co-opt Sindh level administration to do something extra for Karachi, but this won't be effective. And how long can the army sustain extraordinary efforts in Karachi? Whether that's through FWO or some loosely organised Karachi mayoralty? The answer is not very long.

In the end, until I hear about upcoming legislative change, it doesn't matter who is put in charge of Karachi. It would be like asking a pro-racing driver to get you somewhere in a broken down vehicle. You need to change the structure the systems. This means that all those Sindh level authorities need to be mirrored in a Karachi only administration, it means forming an assembly that can deliberate on local matters, it would need for effective local authorities to be subordinate to whoever is put in charge whether that is some general today or some elected mayor in the future. Currently all of these things are missing or only available and established at the provincial level, with not enough local to Karachi.

If you are expecting one guy to show up, no matter how competent or powerful he is, he'll find he has no arms or legs to work with. Don't expect anything worthwhile until you hear about; devolution, local authorities, local assembly, Karachi level administration political structure. All else will fall flat even if there are some minor victories here or there.

The only way is to amending the constitution

Impossible currently. Not without a Majority in NA and senate. Both PMLN and PPP amended it in the first place to their own advantage. First it was removing the limit so a person can become PM more then 2 times (for Nawaz), and then 18th Amendment so that each party, PMLN & PPP, can loot their province without interference (PTI is in center, PPP is looting Sindh dry).

Asking the people in NA or senate to vote on amendment to change this is impossible. You are asking those people to close their source of free money. They rather destroy Pakistan rather then give up free money. They know that they hold all the power.
