(UMT.lahore, 2022) Amina Mushtaq
Devolution is such a democratic way in which central government devolve its power, responsibilities and authorities at the grass root level so that promote political participation, contribute in decision making process, monitor accountability process, to check on taxation, revenues and other financial resources and deliver efficient provision of services. Pakistan‟s local government has been remained far from the concept of devolution. The bureaucracy and politicians are considered as important stakeholders for the implementation and governing the business of devolution in the country. In case of Pakistan bureaucracy has remained a main hurdle in devolving power at the local level. Increasingly, the autocratic regimes have often attempted to restore the local government system in Pakistan. However, they were more interested in creating political groups that could provide them political support at domestic level. While in other hands local government system did not flourish in true sense under democracy as well. This study has attempted to briefly analyze the role of bureaucracy during General Pervaiz Musharraf military regime (1999-2008) and Pakistan Muslim League civilian governments (2013-2018) at grass root level. It also explains how much power is devolve at local level during both regimes and how it has transformed the role of civil bureaucracy at local level.
