Effecting the Westminster system for

governing the state, the government is
mainly composed of the executive,
legislative, and judicial branches, in which
all powers are vested by the Constitution
in the Parliament, the Prime Minister and
the Supreme Court.[2] The powers and
duties of these branches are further
defined by acts and amendments of the
Parliament, including the creation of
executive institutions, departments and
courts inferior to the Supreme Court.[2] By
constitutional powers, the President
promulgates ordinances and passes bills.
The President acts as the ceremonial
figurehead while the people-elected Prime
Minister acts as the chief executive (of the
executive branch) and is responsible for
running the federal government. There is a
bicameral Parliament with the National
Assembly as a lower house and the Senate
as an upper house. The most influential
officials in the Government of Pakistan are
considered to be the federal secretaries,
who are the highest ranking bureaucrats in
the country and run cabinet-level
ministries and divisions. The judicial
branch systematically contains an apex
Supreme Court, Federal Shariat Court, high
courts of five provinces, district, anti-
terrorism, and the green courts; all inferior
to the Supreme Court.[2]

The full name of the country is the Islamic

Republic of Pakistan. No other name
appears in the Constitution, and this is the
name that appears on money, in treaties,
and in legal cases. The "Pakistan
Government" or "Government of Pakistan"
are often used in official documents
representing the federal government
collectively.[2] Also, the terms "Federal" and
"National" in government institutions or
program names generally indicate
affiliation with the federal government. As
the seat of government is in Islamabad,
"Islamabad" is commonly used as a
metonym for the federal government.[2][3][4]

Federal law and Constitution

The Constitution of Pakistan established
and constituted the federal government of
four provinces of federation of nation-
state, known as State of Pakistan. The
Constitution reads as:
The Federal Government is
Subject to the Constitution. The
executive authority of the
Federation shall be exercised in
the name of the President by the
Federal Government, consisting
of the Prime Minister and the
(Federal) Ministers, which shall
act through the Prime Minister,
who shall be the chief executive
of the Federation.
In the performance of his
functions under the
 Constitution, the Prime Minister
may act either directly or
through the (Federal) Ministers.

— Constitution of Pakistan:
Part III: The Federation of
Pakistan— Chapter 3: The
Federal Government, Article
196–197, source[5]

The basic civil and criminal laws governing

the citizens of Pakistan are set down in
major parliamentary legislation (a term
inherited from the United Kingdom), such
as the Exit Control List, the Pakistan Penal
Code, and the Frontier Crimes Regulations.
By the Article 246th and Article 247th to
the constitution, the Islamic Jirga (or
Panchayat) system has become an
institution for local governance.[6][7] The
1950s reforms in the government
administration, the constitutional law and
jurisprudence in Pakistan have been
greatly influenced by the United States Of
America ' legal system. Since the 1970s,
the traditional jirga-based law has also
influenced the country's judicial
development.[8]
Branches of government

Legislative branch …

The legislative branch is known as the

parliament, a term for legislature inherited
from the United Kingdom. The parliament
has two houses;

The National Assembly is the lower

house and has 342 members. 272 are
elected directly by the people, while 70
seats are reserved for women and
religious minorities.
 The Senate is the upper house and has
104 senators elected indirectly by
members of provincial assemblies for
six-year terms.

The Parliament enjoys parliamentary

supremacy. All the Cabinet ministers as
well as the Prime Minister must be
members of Parliament (MPs), according
to the constitution. The Prime Minister and
the Cabinet Ministers are jointly
accountable to the Parliament. If there is a
policy failure or lapse on the part of the
government, all the members of the
cabinet are jointly responsible. If a vote of
no confidence is passed against the
government, then the government
collapses and a new one must be formed.

Executive branch …

By general definition, the executive branch

of government is the one that has sole
authority and responsibility for the daily
administration of the state bureaucracy.
The division of power into separate
branches of government is central to the
republican idea of the separation of
powers. The separation of powers system
is designed to distribute authority away
from the executive branch – an attempt to
preserve individual liberty in response to
tyrannical leadership throughout history.

Prime Minister and Cabinet …

The Prime Minister of Pakistan (Urdu:

‫ ;وزﻳﺮاﻋﻈﻢ‬lit: 'Wazir-e- Azam), is the
executive head of government of Pakistan,
constitutionally designated as the Chief
Executive (CE).[9] Popularly elected by
direct elections in the parliament, the
Prime minister is responsible for
appointing a cabinet as well as running the
government operations.[9]

The Prime Minister makes key

appointments on various important
positions, including;

The federal secretaries as head of

cabinet- level ministries
The chief secretaries of the provinces
Key administrative and military
personnel in the Pakistan Armed Forces
The chairmen of large public sector
organisations and corporations such as
 NHA, TCP, PIA, PNSC etc.
The chairmen and other members of the
federal commissions and public
institutions
Ambassadors and High Commissioners
to other countries

The Cabinet can have a maximum of 11

percent (50 members including the Prime
Minister) of the total strength of the
Parliament.[10] Each Cabinet member must
be a member of Parliament (MP).[11] The
Cabinet Ministers chair the Cabinet and
are further assisted by the Cabinet
Secretary of Pakistan, whose appointment
comes from the Civil Services of Pakistan.
Other Ministers are Ministers of State,
junior members who report directly to one
of the Cabinet Ministers, often overseeing
a specific aspect of government.[11]

Once appointed by the Prime Minister, all

Cabinet Ministers are officially confirmed
to their appointment offices by the
President in a special oath of
ceremony.[11][12]

President …
The President of Pakistan is a ceremonial
figurehead, a ceremonial head of state
representing the unity of the country.

Elected for a five-year term by an indirect

election, the electoral college consisting of
members of the Senate, National
Assembly and the four provincial
assemblies, the president is now not
eligible for reelection (18th
amendment).[11] However no individual
may hold the office for more than two
consecutive terms. The president may
resign or be impeached and removed from
office for incapacity or gross misconduct
by a two-thirds vote of the members of the
parliament.[11]

The President enjoys all constitutional

powers and exercises them directly or
through officers subordinate to him as per
the aforesaid Article 41-Article 47.[13]

The President is responsible for making a

wide variety of appointments.[13]

These include:

Governors of the Four Provinces

 The Chief Justice (after concluding the
consultation with the Prime Minister)
The Chief Election Commissioner
(Consultation required from the Prime
Minister)
The Attorney General and Comptroller
and Auditor General

The President, as Head of State also

receives the credentials of Ambassadors
from other countries, whilst the Prime
Minister, as Head of Government, receives
credentials of High Commissioners from
other members of the Commonwealth, in
line with historical tradition.

The President is the civilian Commander in

Chief of the Pakistan Armed Forces.[14]

The President of Pakistan can grant a

pardon to or reduce the sentence, reprieve
and respite, and remit, suspend or
commute any sentence passed by any
court, tribunal or other authority,
particularly in cases involving a death
sentence.[13] The decisions involving
pardoning and other rights by the
President are independent of the opinion
of the Prime Minister or the Parliamentary
majority. In most other cases, however, the
President exercises his or her executive
powers on the advice of the Prime
Minister.[13]

Judicial branch …

Pakistan's independent judicial system

began under the British Raj, and its
concepts and procedures resemble those
of Anglo-Saxon countries. Institutional and
judicial procedures were later changed, in
1950s, under the influence of American
legal system to remove the fundamental
rights problems.[6] The judiciary consists
of the Supreme Court of Pakistan,
Provincial High Courts, District Courts,
Anti-terrorism courts, Sharia courts, and
Environmental courts all over the country;
Supreme Court being the superior court.[2]
The Supreme Court of Pakistan consists
of a Chief Justice, and Senior Justices
appointed by the President after
consultation with the Chief Justice of
Pakistan. The Constitution does not fix the
number of justices of the Supreme Court,
though it can be fixed by Parliament
through an act signed by the President.[15]

Judicature transfer …

The Constitution grants powers to the

Supreme Court to make judicature
transfers.[15] Although the proceedings in
the Supreme Court arise out of the
judgement or orders made by the
subordinate courts, the Supreme Court
reserves the right to transfer any case,
appeal or proceedings pending before any
High Court to any other High Court.[15]
Supreme Judicial Council …

Misconduct of judges is highly intolerable

as is mentioned in the constitution. Under
the mainframe of the Supreme Judicial
Council Article 209 an inquiry into the
capacity or conduct of a Judge, who is a
member of the Council, may be conducted.

Civil service
The civil service of Pakistan is the
permanent bureaucracy of the Government
of Pakistan. The civil servants are the
permanent officials of the government,
occupying a respected image in the civil
society. Civil servants come from different
cadres (e.g. Pakistan Administrative
Service, Police Service of Pakistan etc.)
after passing the CSS examinations. Not
all the employees of the Government of
Pakistan are civil servants; other
employees of the Government of Pakistan
come from the scientific institutions, state-
owned corporations and commissioned
military science circles.

In the parliamentary democracy, the

ultimate responsibility for running the
administration rests with the elected
representatives of the people which are
the ministers. These ministers are
accountable to the legislatures which are
also elected by the people on the basis of
universal adult suffrage. The cabinet and
its ministers are expected to lay down the
policy guidelines, and the civil servants are
responsible for implementing and
enforcing it.

Federal secretaries …
The federal secretaries are the most
senior, experienced, and capable officials
in the country. Each ministry/division has
its Secretary to oversee and enforce the
public policy matters.

The secretaries, who are basic pay scale

(BPS)-22 grade officers, are largely
considered to be the most powerful
officials in the country.[16][17] Due to the
importance of their respective
assignments, there are twelve specific
federal secretaries which are considered
to be the most vital in the Government of
Pakistan. These include the Secretary
Establishment (responsible for civil service
matters), Secretary Commerce
(responsible for trade), Secretary Cabinet
(responsible for Cabinet Division),
Secretary to the Prime Minister
(responsible for Prime Minister's Office),
Secretary Interior (responsible for law and
order), Secretary Finance (responsible for
the country's treasury), Secretary Foreign
Affairs (responsible for foreign relations),
Secretary Maritime Affairs (responsible for
ports and shipping), Secretary Power
(responsible for the electricity and power
sector), Secretary Planning and
Development (responsible for
development projects), Secretary
Petroleum (responsible for the petroleum
sector) and Secretary Industries
(responsible for industrial
development).[18][19]

Management of major crisis situations in

the country and coordination of activities
of the various Ministries in such situations
are the functions of the Cabinet Division.
Appointment for the chairman of the
FPSC, the prestigious body responsible for
the recruitment of elite bureaucrats, is
made by the President after consulting the
Prime Minister, according to Article 242 of
the Constitution.[20]

Elections and voting system

Since 1947, Pakistan has an asymmetric
federal government, with elected officials
at the national (federal), provincial, tribal,
and local levels. Constitution has set the
limit of government for five years, but if a
Vote of no confidence movements takes
place in the parliament (and prelude of
movements are proved at the Judicial
branch), the government falls and
immediately replaced with caretaker
government initiated by the president
(consultation of Prime Minister also
required to make such move), in regards to
Article 58 of the constitution.[21]

There has been four times that the martial

law has been in effect, and controversially
approved by the supreme court.[11]
Through a general election where the
leader of the majority winning party is
selected to be the Prime Minister.[11] All
members of the federal legislature, the
Parliament, are directly elected. Elections
in Pakistan take place every five years by
universal adult suffrage.[11]

Administration and
governments

Provincial, Tribal, and Local

governments
…

There are four provincial governments that

rule the four provinces of the state; the
Chief Minister heads the state
government. All provincial assemblies are
unicameral, elected for five years.[22][22]
The Governors appointed by President
after consulting the Prime minister, act
only as representatives of federal
government in the province and do not
have any part in running the government.

The provincial governments tend to have

the greatest influence over most
Pakistanis' daily lives. The tribal and Local
government functions at the basic level.[23]
It is the third level of government,
consisting Jirga in rural tribal areas.[14]

Finances
Taxation and budget …

Pakistan has a complex taxation system

of more than 70 unique taxes
administered by at least 37 tax collection
institutions of the Government of
Pakistan.[24] Taxation is a debated and
controversial issue in public and political
science circle of the country, and
according to the International
Development Committee, Pakistan had a
lower-than-average tax take.[25] Only 0.57%
of Pakistanis, or 768,000 people out of a
population of 190 million pay income
tax.[25]

The Finance Minister of Pakistan presents

the annual federal budget in the
Parliament in the midst of the year, and it
has to be passed by the both houses of
the Parliament.[26] The budget is preceded
by an economic survey which outlines the
broad direction of the budget and the
economic performance of the country for
the outgoing financial fiscal year.[27]

National Finance Commission …

program overview

Constituted under the Article 160 of the

Constitution of Pakistan by the
Constitution, the National Finance
Commission Award (NFC) program is a
series of planned economic programs to
take control of financial imbalances and
equally manage the financial resources for
the four provinces to meet their
expenditure liabilities while alleviating the
horizontal fiscal imbalances.[28]

According to stipulations and directions of

the Constitution, the provisional
governments and Federal government
compete to get higher share of the
program's revenues in order to stabilize
their own financial status.[29]

Issues

Corruption …

Overview of the index of perception of corruption,

2015
The corruption is on-going issue in the
government, claiming to take initiatives
against it,[30] particularly in the government
and lower levels of police forces.[31] In
2011, the country has had a consistently
poor ranking at the Transparency
International's Corruption Perceptions
Index with scores of 2.5,[32] 2.3 in 2010,[33]
and 2.5 in 2009[34] out of 10.[35] In 2011,
Pakistan ranked 134 on the index with 42
countries ranking worse.[36] In 2012,
Pakistan's ranking dropped even further
from 134 to 139, making Pakistan the 34th
most corrupt country in the world, tied with
Azerbaijan, Kenya, Nepal, and Nigeria.[37]
However, during Sharif regime (2013–17),
Pakistan got improved ranking of 117/180
in 2017 (with an improvement in score 28,
29, 30, 32, 32 [2013-17]), equal to Egypt
(better than 59 countries).[38]

Circular debt and spending

priorities
…

In 1947–1951, the literacy rate was ~16.40% but

literacy rate is now ~69.0% (out of 80.00%). Still,
Pakistan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the
world.

Since before the collapse of the USSR in

1991, progressive economic liberalization
has been carried out by the government
both at the provincial and the national
level. Pakistan has achieved FDI of almost
$8.4 billion in the financial fiscal year of
2006–07, surpassing the government
target of $4 billion.[39] Despite this
milestone achievement, the Foreign
investment had significantly declined by
2010, dropping by ~54.6% due to
Pakistan's military operations, financial
crises, law and order situation in Karachi,
according to the Bank of Pakistan.[40]
From the 2006 estimate, the Government
expenditures were ~$25 billion.

Funding in science and education has

been a primary policy of the Government
of Pakistan, since 1947. Moreover, English
is fast spreading in Pakistan, with 18
million Pakistanis[41] (11% of the
population)[41] having a command over the
English language, which makes it the 3rd
Largest English Speaking Nation in the
world and the 2nd largest in Asia.[41] On
top of that, Pakistan produces about
445,000 university graduates and 10,000
computer science graduates per year.[42]
Despite these statistics, Pakistan still has
one of the highest illiteracy rates in the
world[43] and the second largest out of
school population (5.1 million children)
after Nigeria.[44]

Debts and deficit …

Map of countries by external debt in US$, 2006

As per the CIA World Factbook, in 2010,

Pakistan ranks 63rd in the world, with
respect to the public external debt to
various international monetary authorities
(owning ~$55.98 billion in 2010), with a
total of 60.1% of GDP.[45]

Since 2009, Pakistan has been trying to

negotiate debt cancellation currently
Pakistan spends $3 billion on debt
servicing annually to largely western
nations and the International Monetary
Fund.[46]
