How would you break Pakistan into several provinces?

Keeping in mind to break the provinces on geographical and economic grounds not ethnic ones.

so divide and then what? same corrupt leaders ? same mafia and same landlords? really?
if u can divide one soba per house, this wouldnt solve the problem...
country is good with 4.. just need some honesty and sincerity

 

[khansaheeb]

Like that would make a difference.

As long as there's lack of patriotic, honest leadership, you can divide Pakistan to 52 provinces and it's not going to make a difference.

But i am happy with the 4 provinces. Maybe divide Punjab into two since it's so huge.

Be better off breaking the corrupts than provinces.

Don't have to be all fancy.... Just split Punjab into 2 and bring an international standard local government system in all provinces that is not under the influence of the provincial government. It is not rocket science. Having 10-12 provinces is unfeasible... Imagine the amount that will have to be spent on secretariats and protocols of 10-12 provincial governments, assemblies, MPAs and chief ministers. Ghareeb quam se 4 tou sambhalay ja nahi rahay.


Breaking Punjab is necessary since it is far bigger than other provinces and therefore it has a bit too much influence resulting in trampling of other provinces' rights. So a North-South split in Punjab is the only division needed.

This is the first time I have to disagree with you

20 provinces with a population of 20 million each.
Why do these people need protocol or anything?
Turn the provinces into a local governing body. Meaning that the only benefit they get is a provincial building to do their work.
Other then that they get zero protocol or any other nonsense.
This way the people will have direct control of their area and it will be easier for them to vote out corrupts and vote in good candidates.

Disagree.

For democracy to work we need to give as much control to the people as possible.
When to break down the provinces, you give more control to people to control their own destiny.

We also help to stop the nonsense like Shabaz was doing, where he used the money of 110,000,000 people and just spent it on Lahore and other parts of norther Punjab.

Finally, with smaller provinces the corruption opportunity is lowered. While shabaz could do billions of rupees of corruption with the budget of 110,000,000 people, you can only do a few million worth of corruption with a population of 20,000,000.

without ending 18 amendment new provinces will weaken federal govt and federation of Pakistan

 

[MastanKhan]

Politically, I'd abolish all of the provinces and merge the country into one unit with hundreds of municipal districts, each with a federal seat (or multiple seats based on population).

Create a tax revenue split with each district (based on each district's population, economic utility, etc), but aim for a 39%/61% ratio (in favour of the district).

I would also publish the revenue documents of every district -- so that people know how much money their local gov't had for spending, and how much they gave in taxes to the federal state. This way, corrupt local actors can't easily blame federal, and likewise, the federal can't hide injustice to a local district (in the reverse situation).

I'd also institute a 'standard-plus' education curriculum, i.e., the mandatory parts being science, math, Islam and English, and the 'plus' part being the local district's choice of anything (local languages, specialized education, or something else).

Note, I specifically chose English as the standard language because, at this point, there's really no dispute as to its economic usefulness. Still, each district has the option to pursue Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashtu, and literally any other language otherwise (we might see some districts with Arabic, Persian, Mandarin, French, etc).

Hi,

It needs to be divided into COUNTIES---. English is perfect---don't give them any option of language---.

Karachi becomes a Federal unit as is Islamabad---.

 

[V. Makarov]

i want Karachi into 2 if not 3. and Punjab, KPK and rest of Sindh pop-wise. may be 4-3-3

You want to divide Karachi into two 'provinces'?

 

[jupiter2007]

nothing will work. We don’t need provinces and there is no point of waisting money and resources on Jahil MPAs.

We need a custom build system design for Pakistan. IMHO, best option is to go for Division with publicly elected Governor/commissioners and divisional council.

5 Regions

Divisions within a region
2nd tier of government

Districts within a Division
3rd tier of government

Tehsils within a District.

Is he expecting Balochis to Speak in English with Punjabi’s?

no one can kill URDU.
Urdu will remain as the main language of communication in Pakistan.

Changing the language to organise or make progress ? How come you got to that conclusion ?
