Local governments are one of the essential pillars of a democratic system of government. Without local governments, a vacuum is created between political leadership and people of any nation. Local governments effectively fill out this gap. It connects a common layman to the leaders and helps to remove any kind of ambiguity between them.
Local governments actually consigns the power to common people. They get the authority, power and capital which can be diverted towards the development and prosperity of common people. It effaces the perception of exclusion from the minds of people.
Actually, the system of government in Pakistan is the reminiscent of colonial system of administration which was formulated for more centrally empowered government having greater authorities to control people and extract as much revenue as possible. One the other hand, the local government system is aimed at the welfare and development of the common.
The inception of local government system occurred during Musharaf's regime in 2001 and two tenures of this system of management completed in 2009. However, after 2009 this system was stalled owing to lame excuses of the governments which comprise mostly of feudal and vassals. It should also be taken into the account that feudal and vassals who are perpetually enjoying government and power since the independence of Pakistan do not want to cede their power, so this system was stalled.
Critics describe local system as a tool of corruption, what can we say about provincial and federal government system? Indeed, corruption is root cause of deploring situation of Pakistan. However, this cannot be used as an excuse for abolishment of this system of administration. Corruption scams have also been emanating continually from federal and provincial governments. Should they be abolished too?
Indeed, no. If corruption is the one of the root cause then it can only be eradicated when people give more significance to honesty, disinterestness and, fare and square characteristics of the politicians and people fighting in the Local Government elections.
For democratic process to continue, this rhetoric is described with redundancy that democratic process can only get successful when it is allowed to continue without any kind of interruptions. Same applies to the Local Government, it can only get success and when it faces no hindrance. Of course, government of the people, by the people and for the people can only reach its true sense when both types of democratic process are allowed to perpetuate without any kind of obstruction.
