There is a lot corruption in WAPDA. Its employees are very corrupt and their recruitment is made on political liking or disliking. There is no concept of merit. Free units are given to the employees of WAPDA and sometimes they do not even have to pay the bills of electricity. Apart from this there are few cases like the rental power projects in which billions of corruption has been made by the politicians and bureaucrats. This corruption and lack of transparency in the projects is also a big cause of these energy crises in Pakistan.

  • Energy Policy Has Become A Racket And The Madness Must Stop By Judith Sloan

    475 Words  | 2 Pages

    The state government's approach on Australia’s energy policy has provoked much debate in recent media. The Australian opinion piece, titled ‘Energy policy has become a racket and the madness must stop’ (November 7, 2016) was written by an Australian economist, Judith Sloan, in response to this debate. Sloan presents a mocking and skeptical tone where she argues that ‘it’s time for the federal government to intervene to stop this madness’. She attacks the Australian state governments by portraying its management techniques which are contrary to her ideals as foolish, uncaring and deceitful. This creates distrust of this section of the government in the audience and further supports her view by using evidence and appeals to hip pocket nerve to gain approval of ‘the Australian taxpayer’.

  • Pros And Cons Of Coalition Corruption

    328 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is most likely going to be some form of corruption in any government system because someone is always trying to get ahead of the other person or they are trying to keep their powerful position; in small constituencies corruption basically runs the government as coalitions are constantly bribed and rewarded with private gains. This can occur because the coalition has a smaller amount of people and because the amount of supporters to payoff is small, more can be given to a select few who support the leader. In larger coalitions corruption is discouraged more so because of economics. Larger constituencies do not have as much money to allocate to its coalitions because the gross revenue profit take is going to be smaller. This means that even if they did try to pay off their coalition, there would not be enough money to make everyone happy.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Federal Energy Policy

    851 Words  | 4 Pages

    Federalism is a political notion where a group of individuals are joined together by contract with a leading spokesperson, to initiate a system of government in which independence is constitutionally divided between a dominant governing power and essential political components, such as states and localities. When involving federalism with federal policies, there is a struggle when determining how much control the federal government has over the states and how much both the federal and state governments have control over local administrations. In this particular essay I will demonstrate the Federal Energy Policy and how it raises issues of federalism, along with the pros and cons that surround the policy. The Federal Energy Policy is a policy that was determined by federal, state, and local units to tackle issues of energy production, energy distribution, and the utilization of energy.

    are pay, accountability, and lax management. You may be wondering how does pay or salary lead to corruption of a police department, the answer is simple. Police officers don’t make a lot of money, so when Death Row Records offered some of L.A.P.D. officers an off-duty security job, some jumped at the opportunity. I believe that some of the officers didn’t intend to be corrupt but slowly let the extra money get to them. The second thing that led to corruption was the lack of accountability.
