How to End Nepotism and Corruption in Pakistan?
Nepotism and corruption have had extensive and endemic effects on every branch of Pakistan's economy, politics, and society for decades. Not only do these ills impede national development but also severely erode public faith in state institutions. This paper tries to critically assess the root causes of nepotism and corruption in Pakistan, estimate their socio-economic and institutional costs, and determine viable methods for their eradication, with a view towards long-term national development and good governance.
The economic cost of nepotism and corruption is widespread. Such actions hinder the proper use and deployment of financial resources. At government agencies, successful projects are allocated on grounds of connections and not ability, depriving the country of genuine expertise and ingenuity. Corruption amounts to billions of rupees of economic loss annually, according to the Pakistan Economic Survey. This corruption reduces economic growth significantly and deters investor confidence.
