PPP on Thin Ice? Establishment's Patience Fading | Younus Dagha In this important podcast, Faisal Waheed talks to former Federal Secretary and senior bureaucrat Younus Dagha about Pakistan’s economy, bureaucracy, corruption, governance, youth, Sindh Government, PPP, Karachi and the country’s future. Younus Dagha says Pakistan is going through one of the most difficult economic periods in its history. He talks about the struggling economy, the problems facing young people and how a large number of young people are not getting the right opportunities. He also explains how frustrated and unemployed youth can become vulnerable to terrorism and extremism. The discussion then moves to Pakistan’s bureaucracy and corruption. Younus Dagha explains how much difference an honest or corrupt person at the top can make. According to him, when the leadership is honest, corruption becomes difficult. But when the people at the top are corrupt, corruption can spread through the entire system. Younus Dagha also talks openly about the Sindh Government and PPP (Pakistan Peoples Party). He questions the performance of the Sindh Government and talks about corruption, poor governance and accountability in Sindh. A major part of the podcast is about Karachi. The discussion looks at Karachi’s development, infrastructure and the major projects that are now being given to FWO (Frontier Works Organization). Faisal Waheed also asks a major question: Is the establishment losing patience with PPP because of its performance in Sindh? 00:00 - Introduction & Podcast Overview 08:00 - 7th NFC Award & Impact on Federal Economy 20:00 - Local Government Funds, Octroi & GST History 35:00 - Sindh Budget Crisis, ADP Allocation & Salaries 48:00 - Karachi Mass Transit, K-4 Water Project & Infrastructure Delays 01:00:00 - Historic Downfall: Karachi vs Lahore Urban Development 01:10:00 - Corruption & Bureaucratic Governance Issues in Sindh 01:20:55 - Rural Sindh Political Landscape & Electoral Dynamics 01:21:37 - Powers of Karachi Mayor & Local Government System 01:24:24 - Future Outlook: Karachi Youth, Jobs & Street Crime 01:25:47 - Concluding Remarks & Floor for Response Younus Dagha also compares Karachi and Lahore and explains how different the two cities were in the 1980s.
