Local governments have historically been a way for dictatorships to earn legitimacy without working with political parties. - @AhmadNarowal

“We are attempting to make Tehsils, which are smaller and more numerous than Districts, the main administrative unit in Punjab” - @BilalRao1987

We received good feedback from KP’s village councils where fresh people with no political backgrounds were elected. This fed into PTI’s plans to strengthen local governments - @BilalRao1987

Dynastic politics have permeated local governments; important positions go to people who are well connected - @sameen_mohsin

“We need to put taxation and service delivery at the same level. We have created a power structure that puts authority with provincial governments.” - Dr. Ali Cheema

“The future of local governments looks bleak because there is little demand and interest for them within the citizenry” - Dr. Ali Cheema (@LifeAtLUMS)

Innovation is not only about creating something new or something that’s nothing been done before, it’s about how well you can connect the dots between things that already exist and improve an average person’s life.

There’s a lot of jobs that are becoming obsolete with advancing technology, which tends to panic people, but we should remember that most of the time when a job becomes obsolete, new jobs are created. We have to make sure our new generation can adopt to this -Dr. Ali Shuja.

5 people die every minute in hospitals in developing countries, most of which are due to human error. Automation can reduce a size able number of these deaths. - Rizwan Buttar

Collaboration is increasingly becoming more important with competition. That’s how you innovate; that’s why @telenorpakistan partners with startups which are agile and willing to change with the world, so they are the ones who disrupt industry.
