November 04, 2010

Watchdog organisation globally known as its international stature, "coalition partners against global corruption" are reported to have noted seriously the government of Pakistan’s initiative maligning the organisation which has its unique stature and character and calling upon the countries to follow the principles of prudent governance and not corruption, however in case of ruling PPP and its Sindh provincial assembly led by Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah was vocal against the Transparency International. In DHA Islamabad, Karachi Port and unauthorised and illegal construction on container terminal at Clifton recreational beach Karachi and many other are the recent investigative reports by The Daily Mail which have drawn an unparallel reactions globally and nationally as people frustrated due to corruption and financial irregularities by the government ministries and departments in the current PPP rule led by Zardari-Gilani set up are the hall mark of corruption putting Pakistan further on the global map.

Brussles authorities have reportedly been informed while the Germany Transparency officials are equally abreast of the critical corruption situation in Pakistan which every second day internationally find good coverage and headlines on corruption by the ruling officials and flouting the principles of governance, informed sources here said.

Transparency International in Pakistan headed by Adil Gilani has been vocal and addressing the issue of poorest governance and corruption as the economy and Pakistan now riddled which massive corruption in unprecedented corruption.

There are almost all the government departments and ministries who did not care for any rule of law and are minting money in sizeable magnitude; however there is no law for the international banks and organisations which also monitor the huge bank balances, deposits and purchase of assets through illicit money. According to the Transparency International among the developing countries, Pakistan and its people have very low perception as what is corruption and how one could avoid corruption oriented practices. The ranking in corruption has been high in recent years and the perception has been very low.

The international donor agencies and lending organisations have the credibility with them at a highest level for the officials of Transparency International. Even the US providing huge funds and aid has got involved the Transparency International's assistance for monitoring and vigilance over the use of funds and its disbursement. This is where the government of Pakistan in centre and provinces is found afraid of, a source here said. Transparency International Pakistan to launch USAID “Anti-Fraud Hotline” in December 2010
