Incompetence is the Mother of Corruption

  Incompetence is the Mother of Corruption l Dr. Irfan Hyder

Typically, the conventional wisdom is that "corruption is the mother of incompetence". The argument goes like the following: If there was no corruption, no incompetent judges would be hired, no incompetent civil servants would be hired or promoted, there would be no incompetent NAB, there would be no incompetent MNAs and MPAs and  there would be no incompetent Ministers. 

Thanks to the dictatorships, they had used the corruption to prolong their rule and survive. Zia ul Haq introduced non-party-based elections to bring the business mafia into the politics and unethical business mafia generated all the mess to engineer incompetence in all areas so their illegal wealth can grow and they never get caught by any system: Judiciary, law enforcement etc. The business mafia ensured incompetent people get hired at all levels to support their illegal actions. Thanks to Zia ul Haque and dictatorship.

Experiments to Control Democracy in Pakistan

مرض بڑھتا گیا جوں جوں دوا کی

Pakistan is so fond of changing the system of governance: We have changed the system every few years since 1947, we have experimented with political engineering of the system more times than any other country in the world. Here is a brief overview of our experiments of such engineering:

Why School Priorities Have Changed

 How short-term observations can lead to faulty solutions? What was important 50 years ago is not important today. See the following post

What was important 50 years ago is not important today. 50 years ago depression was not among the top 10 or even top 20 illnesses leading to death, today it is number one killer disease. 50 years ago memorizing spellings, formulas and multiplication tables was essential for all educated people, today their memorization is no longer important because of Google search, smart phones and auto spell checkers. 50 years ago self esteem, self care, self finances were taught by father mother, uncles, aunts and extended families and neighborhood friends, today we have deliberately cutoff the support environment of extended family and friends, and now want to shift the responsibility to schools.

.....

We are creating new problems because of our selfish pursuits and then want government and school systems to solve these problems.

Why the pendulum shifted in last 50 years. Regarding memorization of formulas, the shift is understandable because of availability of formula and spelling on a single click of smart phone has obviated the need. The increase in depression is owed to what Alvin Toffler called future shock.

For a more detailed understanding of why there is Prevalence of depression over the last 50 years see my other post
