Implementation weaknesses
2018-06-24
- Political finance rules and regulations are not followed in Pakistan because of lack of implementation mechanism.
- The procedures for filing complaints against violations of political finance laws are so confusing that mostly no legal action is taken in court against misdemeanors.
- ECP is the custodian for the implementation of the Political Finance laws and regulations, but it does not have full power to take any substantial corrective action.
- Intentional and unintentional lack of priority to political finance results in weak implementation of laws and regulations.
- There are no clearly defined actions against those who do not follow the laws and regulations governing political finance in Pakistan.
- There are insufficient financial resources to take the required actions to implement the laws and regulations.
- The systems for implementation are convoluted and encourage defiance of the law and regulation.
