Political Administrators by Aminullah Chaudy

Even when all mechanisms are present to make the bureaucracy function cleanly and effectively, if there is a political facilitator who comes from the top level of the bureaucracy, these good systems can be compromised with just a phone call or some marginal note from the high-ranking elected official. Rules will be circumvented, budgets can be siphoned off to favor a project or an ally of the

AARP: Was founded in 1958, a teacher named Dr.Ethel Percy Andrus, this group was formally known as National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA ).Which was also established in 1947 also by Dr.Andrus, which was to promote the productivity of aging and the need for health insurance for retired teachers. It was hard back then for the aging to get health insurance Until the government enacted Medicare in 1965, this provides medical care for individuals 65 and older.AARP also has a discount mail order pharmacy service.To promote independence, purpose, and dignity for elderly, enhance the quality of life and to encourage the elderly “to serve and not be served.”AARP is a nonprofit organization.

In Woodrow Wilson’s article “The Study of Administration”, Wilson arguments for a strong and effective public administration were based around two points. First, the fact that the governmental system had expanded greatly from when it first started and as a result had become more complex and had many more parts to it. Second, to split government between politics and administration, as there should not be politics in administration, instead let those who wish to be involved in politics concentrate on politics and those with expertise in the field administer the policies. The case study “The Blast in Centralia No.5: A Mine Disaster No One Stopped”, showed that a bureaucracy that is weak has the same affect on its constituents as no bureaucracy at all. As a result, after reading those two articles, I feel that there is a need for a strong and effective public administration system.

There is a plethora of criticisms about the effectiveness of the Bureaucracy. Even during the 19th century, as Wilson writes, the Post Office “was an organization marred by inefficiency and corruption”. With an appointment standard such as the “spoils system”, where individuals or groups are granted high level positions based on political favors alone, corruption is almost a certainty. The political aspect of the Bureaucracy was prevalent in the military for over 100 years, as Wilson states “the size and deployment of the military establishment in this country was governed entirely by decisions made by political leaders on political grounds”. Political favors and factors plague our government, including the Bureaucracy. A by-product of these political favors and corruptions are stagnancy and mediocrity. An example of this, as

The Pakistan Police and the Pakistan Army serving in the feudal regions is aware that feudalism is practiced, which, per Pakistani Constitution and law, is not legal, because Pakistan is an independent country. The violence still takes place with the help of the Police and Army personnel, which is through bribe and personal connections. Usually, there is one or more than two family members belonging to the feudal lords’ family who serve as the police and/or Army officers in the armed forces that are in feudal regions. In both contexts, the oppressed are deprived of education because they are not thought of deserving humanity, respect, honor, good health and

There is a larger insight on the whole picture. The PM alone or the along with several ministers set the priorities and direction of the government while allowing the central agencies overlook the situation. Central agencies like Prime Minister’s Office, Privy Council Office, Department of Finance and Treasury Board Secretariat became more powerful in the political system.

PA can be seen as a as a dense twist of organizations and branches of government which need to relate to each other in order to serve the public needs of the society. Bureaucracy, as a result, is the internal engine of each public branch of government which coordinate and organize through rules and in a hierarchical way, all the administrators, as to provide an efficient system which is able to satisfy all the public demand of goods and services. However, most of the time it is subject to ridicule and condemnation by the citizens and the whole society for several reasons. Firstly, because of the overcrowded staff which permeate the entire bureaucratic system. This is a crucial problem which many of the governmental organizations are

In his book, Bureaucracy: What Government Agencies do and why they do it, James Q. Wilson’s main objective is to better define the behavior of governmental bureaucracy, believing traditional organizational and economic theory does not adequately explain their actions. Wilson believes that government agencies are doomed to be perceived as inefficient entities by the public. He gives examples of commonly held perceptions of bureaucracies and reveals how these are mostly misconceptions. He points to the environment of bureaucracy, where rules and procedures, dictate goals, along with context, constraints, values, and norms.

The Development of a country to a large extent depends on how the bureaucracy of that country functions. As bureaucracy gives input in policy making, implements those and evaluate outcome of an implemented policy,

The government can hardly keep pace with the time for implementation of a project. Every government project experiences cost overrun. Bureaucracy always suffers from inhibition psyche. Promptness is a word unknown to it. As a result, growth and development have always been impeded in the government sector.

Eventhough there might be distortion in achieving government policy, which is sometime is cause by unavoidable external cause, the citizen are expecting Public Administration would be handle it in a way that would bring less impact to the society. In order to satisfy citizen’s almost idealistic expectations, Public Administration must have the sense of highest integrity. Government are entrusted with public funds and resources, and must adhere to the highest ethical standards. Honesty, integrity, propriety, and objectivity, These goals can only be achieved through a combination of individual proffesionalism, personal standards and rigorous control framework (Deloitte). These years, people are began to question government officials integrity and government are trying to promotes the importance of integrity to their officials as well as to the citizens. For example in Malaysia, the government had establish Malaysian Integrity Instituition and Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission, that would receive reports from citizens regarding the misbehaviour of government officials.

“Bureaucracy is becoming more and more independent and powerful and the rules governing the exercise of that power are not clearly defined; hence bureaucracy poses a threat to the democratic political structure and to the politicians who run it. And yet, a, powerful, independent bureaucracy is also necessary for the prevention of political corruption and for the safe guarding of proper democratic procedures.” Therefore having bureaucracy as party of the democracy it’s the best because it helps to maintain corruption, it’s also helps increasing the economy and social activities, helps with the delivering of services to the people. Examples of everyday bureaucracies include governments, armed forces, corporations, hospitals, courts. The people who
