Pakistan Should Spend on Schools, Not Ministers

Kunwar Idris, Dawn | November 17, 2008

Pakistan should be grateful for IMF supervision. ++ President Zardari seems to think he can add 61 people to his government and magically create money. ++ With a marginal parliamentary opposition and a heterogeneous government, power is in presidential hands. ++ Those responsible for finance and security are unelected. ++ Parliament and the nation remain bystanders to politics that affect them, with education and policing suffering. ++ At the least, presidential expenditure should not exceed that of the US White House.
