Politicised ED seeks inept baboos? ideas for good governance

ISLAMABAD: In an interesting development the Establishment Division (ED) - the top personnel management body of the country?s civil service - has introduced Idea Award Scheme for the bureaucrats to learn from them how they can be made efficient and motivated for improved governance in the country. The Establishment Division, which during the last few decades has virtually stopped its prime job of personnel management, instead of getting itself independent from external influences to appoint right man for the right job now expects solutions to check red-tapism and inefficiency from those who themselves are the cause for the present sorry state of government?s administrative machinery. On its official website, the ED on January 1, 2018 referred to government?s Idea Award Scheme, introduced in 1961, to utilise the public servants? knowledge, expertise and their vision to enhance the efficiency of government machinery.
?In this Scheme, the received ideas/ suggestions are initially scrutinised by an internal Departmental Scrutiny Committee and then by Standing Committee comprising of Secretary Establishment Division, Secretary Cabinet Division, Secretary Finance Division and Director General Pakistan Public Administration Research Centre (PPARC),? the ED document reads.
It adds, ?This Standing Committee is the highest forum for recommending any idea to an ward which may comprise issuing of meritorious/ performance certificate as well as to a cash award upto Rs100,000/- to the author of a suggestion, if it is approved for implementation.?
All serving and retired employees of federal government as well as employees of semi-autonomous or autonomous bodies under the federal government, are eligible to give suggestions or ideas under the Scheme.
The ED asked the government to suggests how to improve efficiency, methods and procedures, systems, office layouts, equipment, file working with new IT concepts, cooperation, public relations, employee?s motivation and civil servant laws and rules.
The ED also sought suggestions to eliminate red-tapism, bottlenecks, duplication, waste, outdated rules/ laws and irregularities.
The government servants have been told that their suggestion will not be considered if they fall in the categories of personal grievances, service problems, changes in the set-ups of organisations, suggestions for legislation, already known measures etc.
The ED might be hoping to get some valuable solutions from the members of the bureaucracy to improve governance, however, it is believed that the fundamental problem lies with the ED itself. It is said that the ED, which once used to be an independent personnel management body, has now been turned into a mere post office.
External influences causing extreme politicisation of the administrative machinery, has plagued the civilian bureaucracy. According to a bureaucrat source, if the ED wants to fix the problems and improve bureaucracy?s performance than it will have to get itself independent from external pressures.
Because of politicisation of the civilian bureaucracy, the ED is no more allowed to perform its primary role of career planning and personnel management to ensure that the right person is appointed for the right job.It is said that depoliticisation of bureaucracy is the issue, which the ED should address forthwith. Otherwise, a source said, no reform, no idea will work.
