who is responsible for the current economic situation?👇
Was there really a need to create such a DMG group that would be responsible for tasks like ensuring timely closure of shops and checking the prices of onions and potatoes at the district level, and then the same officers, after being promoted to Grade 20, would sit in provincial and federal ministries to handle budgeting, financial management, and the determination of tariffs for various goods—despite lacking specific professional education and experience?
Would it not have been more appropriate for provincial administrative functions such as shop regulation and monitoring prices of essential commodities to be assigned to Provincial Management Service officers while instead of promoting Deputy Commissioners to Grade 20 and posting them in ministries, a dedicated senior-level Financial Management Group could have been established at the central level alongside the Office Management Group? Such a group, with specialized expertise, could have provided more effective support to the government in budgeting, financial planning, and tariff determination, thereby contributing to economic development.
However, the reality is that priorities lie elsewhere, where the primary focus remains on the promotions, privileges, and perks of a few bureaucrats, while the public interest is pushed into the background.
