Provide the proof of the kickbacks please
Kick-backs and commissions in Pakistan are a Universal Truth just like the earth revolves around the sun.

Politicians, army officers and bureaucracy will definitely be taking their cut on these projects.

yes we are aware of it but despite it all we are seeing a silver lining through the clouds. being a little positivity is good for the heart!
 
What can be said about our country where civilians cannot build a road and the military can only build a road instead of defending the country.

What can be said is that this country has spend majority of its life under the military rule. Due to which, the civilian institues weren't developed as the core focus was military at any given time. Thus, the military has majority of the hi-tech machinery and experience to still build these roads.

However, that's changing rapidly. The democratically elected government has started all these infrastructure projects which will end up spinning up many construction and other companies with advance equipment. Sooner or later the military's role will be eliminated from all these civilian matters, and that's how it should be.

By the way, it is not uncommon to call the military and have them build heavy duty, high priority, more complex projects as every military has heavy duty equipment and core of engineers. In the US, majority of larger lakes and associated infrastructure was built by the US Army and Marine Corps engineers.

This CPEC project is Pakistan's national security priority 2 at this time (priority 1 is to clean up the terrorism mess and get rid of all kinds of terrorists, including Islamist and other ones being sponsored by India). So it is perfectly constitutional to call the Army to push through the highest national security priority. Military belongs to the civilian government of Pakistan so they can call it anytime the country needs help.

Are you a Civil Engineer working on these projects?

Kick-backs and commissions in Pakistan are a Universal Truth just like the earth revolves around the sun.

Politicians, army officers and bureaucracy will definitely be taking their cut on these projects.

The Earth revolving around the Sun is factual and there are videos showing the gravitational rotation. Can you prove a video or other facts or proofs showing kickbacks and corruption?

I would strongly believe in it if it can be proven through proper documents inside the Supreme Court.........otherwise, you should go watch these massive projects getting completed. Resulting in Pakistan becoming a modern country starting within the next three years. You are allowed to still remain in depression as its your life and choice not to do anything productive with your life!!! We can only pray for you!!
 
Cpec is truly turning out to be a future changer for Pakistan. So many projects have been started which will benefit the people of Pakistan and will allow Pakistan to develop and evolve along with its economy. Hopefully we continue the momentum.
 
Ain't happening in a million years.

Put your bet on it, the most expensive thing. 5-10 years and you'll see economic vertical climb if the system stays working the way it is. Go take a look at the motor ways or the metro buses or the new hospitals or the university campuses.....and if you are too lazy, check out previous pages of this thread. If nothing synchs up in your head, I can ONLY pray for you.

Yup, as LONG as the system continues to function, the birth of a NEW Pakistan has taken place. Now the system has to "RAISE" this new Pakistan. So the system and the civilian government need to keep pushing hard. Economic boom has started and more and more will be added to this. The next 20 years are going to be VERY busy for Pakistanis in earning $$$$ and seeing a modern, tolerant and terrorism free Pakistan with great economic outlook.
 
LOLZ. It seems as if an invasion plan is being discussed but in reality, it is only a freaking road. LOLZ.
These are FWO men , an engineering subsidiary of army for civil engineering project.
By the way, grow up and stop acting like a horny teenager.
 
The biggest advantage of cpec is that if done right and with great zeal then it will open a whole new level of pak China relations and more projects will then be introduced leading towards a very prosperous Pakistan... Cpec is what will change Pakistan and help it reach new and improved heights... After the mess of zardari we needed something big like this and now we have it....
