Karachi: Chairman of the Pasban Democratic Party, Altaf Shakoor, has criticized the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) for its governance in Sindh, highlighting significant administrative challenges that have arisen over nearly two decades. According to Pasban Democratic Party, Shakoor stated that the governance structure has become dysfunctional due to political influence, nepotism, and vested interests overshadowing the needs of ordinary citizens.

Shakoor emphasized that Sindh requires the establishment of smaller, autonomous administrative units to address these issues effectively. He argued that the current oversized administrative structure distances the government from the people and called for accountable and empowered administrative units to bring governance closer to citizens. Problems such as bad governance are evident in various sectors, including cooperative housing societies, where residents face difficulties due to disputed administrations and alleged influential patronage.

He specifically mentioned the State Enterprises Officers' Cooperative Housing Society, raising concerns about its management and the alleged role of its Secretary, Mirza Saeed Ahmed Beg. Shakoor called for independent investigations into allegations surrounding cooperative societies and emphasized the need for transparency and accountability.

Shakoor also highlighted the importance of transparency and accountability within regulatory institutions. He demanded impartial investigations into possible collusion between the Cooperative Department's officials and vested-interest groups. He urged the creation of empowered administrative units, particularly in Karachi, to improve governance and address the concentration of administrative powers.

In his concluding remarks, Shakoor appealed for support in establishing empowered administrative units with defined powers and resources. He stressed that Pakistan's real issue lies in the need for administrative reform rather than purely political challenges.
