THE LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL ISSUES IN PAKISTAN IS THE LACK OF OWNERSHIP OF POSITION ONE HOLDS
When someone attains a position he makes a moral pact that he will do a job that is expected of him. However, the question is in our society does anyone actually keeps that promise?
Failure of performance at any level is a common denominator be it a leader governing the country or a worker sweeping the streets.
Unfortunately, all the efforts are made to attain a position so that the individual can get power or be able to get income rather than putting any effort towards the performance.
There are thousands of examples of lack of performance at all levels. However, it is not the writer’s intention to cite examples of such, but to indulge and to prove his thesis that it’s not the lack of education that is commonly thought of as the main cause of all issues in Pakistan but rather failure of ownership of one’s position.
It is the least common denominator of all the issues we are facing in Pakistan.
We can see millions of educated individuals earning handsome income but their job results are practically equivalent to zero. An individual who is educated enough to be hired as a teacher is shirking from his duties and producing students who are inadequately prepared to be a good citizen of the country. They could care less if they are destroying the generations to come.
A policeman who is there to protect and serve lacks the interest to do what he is expected of him. However, he will do that if he is paid under the table beyond his salary.
A bureaucrat who is made responsible to take up a project perhaps millions of dollars’ worth, will not care if all that money goes down the drain because the money did not come from his pocket, yet if opportunity knocks he will do everything to make money for himself from that project.
Politician will not perhaps mind to touch feet of his constituents when begging for votes at time of elections. However, if he does win, same constituents will hardly see the elected individual let alone he does anything positive for them.
People want to have titles such as President or Director of organizations, however their performance leaves much to be desired even if Pakistan as a country holds a great stake in their position or organization. People lack the drive to do something good and positive.
Everyone acts like a monarch from top to bottom because he knows there is no accountability if he does not perform at his job or not as per expectations.
Corruption that we are facing today is due to lack of such ownership in different departments. People lack the intention and drive to do justice to their position.
If everyone does his job properly and performs as his position calls for, then almost all of the problems Pakistan faces will vanish and she could progress economically and socially.
