Civil Servants
Published in Dawn on March 15, 2025
THE richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, considered by many to be
the de facto president of the United States, recently asked government
employees to state what work they had done in the preceding week. I was
wondering what the response of Pakistan’s civil servants would be if they were
asked to present a similar status report
It can be said with certainty that out of every 10 employees,
half of them would say that they turned up for work only on one day in the
month, and that was to collect their salary cheques. Three of them would say
that even though they went to the office daily, they did not know what to do
there, as no one had explained it to them
One out of 10 would probably be vacationing with their
families outside the country, spending their hard-earned money lying in foreign
bank accounts. That leaves just one out of the 10 who is the person who does
the actual work.
