The fukers in government don't care.
They have $hundreds of millions stashed abroad in Dubai, Switzerland, Paris, London, and New York.
Every upper-middle/rich Pakistani you see in the West, who came in the 2000s, most likely came from corruption money.

Pilana roughly is give to drink. The sentence translates to "give me tea".

Problem is honesty and commitment. My mom was a teacher there for 15 year but the education board has "no record" of her. She literally went to the retired headmaster's house to ask if she might have records of her time as the letters my mom has aren't "attested".
Want something done you need to pay everyone from the guy who brings chai in the office to the office manager. It was 10,000PKR back in 1983 to bribe an education official to get your middle school educated daughter a position to teach in high school. Yeah. You read that correctly.
The uphill battle to get an honest competent individual in position to do anything is impossible across the country.
Another example.
A provincial government set up a disaster management department. They hired internationally trained individuals to run it. Sounds good right?
Well the bureaucrats went up in a frenzy since a government department was outside their domain. So the solution? Stupid bureaucrats we're brought in to manage the trained disaster relief individuals and allocate funding.
Well we saw that funding when 1/3+ of the country was flooded and still people aren't getting relief supplies.
What happened to those relief supplies?
Well an even better question. You see tents were used as floor mats for a political rally.
There's no sense of accountability or collective good.
A police chief (I don't know his US equivalent) involved in numerous extrajudicial killings and theft was just declared innocent by a court.
The current government got the vast majority of their corruption cases dismissed and declared innocent while dozens of prosecutors and investigators involved in the cases have been assassinated.
What more examples do you want?
The children of these assholes are now migrating to the US/Canada/EU/Australia/New Zealand. Making songs to "spread the culture". While their parents in Pakistan are beating their underpaid servants and serfs.

Electrical grids are pretty vulnerable, especially when you decide to pocket the money for equipment that would have prevented this.

If you knew what was going on in the country you'd be asking why an invite was even given.
