flag Pakistan’s power sector reform stalled by bureaucrats clinging to paychecks from inactive companies.

flag Pakistan’s plan to merge defunct state-owned power companies into a single entity has stalled due to bureaucratic resistance, despite the entities being inactive shells with no operational role. flag Board members continue receiving substantial pay—over 100,000 rupees per meeting plus travel costs—fueling opposition to reform. flag Experts say this inertia reflects a broader systemic issue where institutional privileges undermine efficiency, masking deeper economic problems like idle factories, high unemployment, and reliance on remittances, which now make up nearly 10% of GDP.
