An Analysis of General Pervaiz Musharraf’s Devolution Plan
President Musharraf introduced a devolution and decentralization plan for good service delivery and fiscal reforms at the grass-roots level, but he consolidated his power base in the disguise of this plan and was restricted by strong opposition. Hopes for the growth of grassroots leadership, political grooming, women's engagement, and the freedom of minorities, workers, and farmers were in trouble as the administration of President Musharraf dissolved. This study investigates Musharraf's Devolution plan, which was put into action in Pakistan in the year 2001. The study finds the quality of public services has made it possible for some degree of local autonomy to exist. It is also helpful for determining why the devolution plan is so off the wall, which is another way of saying "off the deep end."
