Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) leader and Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Nadeem Afzal Chan on Thursday rejected the Transparency International’s annual report regarding corruption in Pakistan.
While chairing the meeting of the committee in Islamabad, Chan said that he challenged Transparency International that the report was not prepared in the good faith. He stated that the report was based on fake facts.
He noted, “We have recovered millions of rupees from the people and still the state institutions are working hard to recover the money from the fraudulent people.” He further added that the situation was improving day by day in the country.
The Transparency International on Wednesday issued annual report over corruption in 2012, raising the Pakistan rank from 42 to 33. The 2012 index ranks 176 countries by their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The index assigns scores of between one and 100, 1 being highly corrupt and 100 clean.
The global civil society organization has expressed concern over the growing corruption in the country saying that the corruption of Rs 12600 billion was reported in different sectors of Pakistan during the last five years.
Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) chairman Advocate Sohail Muzaffar said the country had scored 27 points and had been placed at 139th position among 176 countries.
Muzaffar said that on November 28 this year Pakistan had also been declared the seventh most corrupt country out of 97 in the rule of law index of 2012, which, he said, was a clear indicator of the fact that corruption in Pakistan was clearly othe rise.
Quoting the Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Muzaffar said that daily corruption in Pakistan was to the tune of Rs 7 billion. This, he said, meant that within five years, if the trend were allowed to continue unchecked, corruption would touch the Rs 12,600 billion mark.

Communism and Capitalism have both failed as systems of government because of the same illness: corruption.
In a new and long lasting form of government, Trust can no longer be one of its components. All efforts should be made to form a new type of government with new mechanisms that will not require the element of Trust or the promise of a politician to guarantee that the will of the majority will always be reflected in the laws of that government.
This will be a system that could improve in time the already existing possibility of such government today structured through the use of the Internet.
A new form of Democratic government is Commutalism.
Commutalism is a new concept of Democracy without politicians which is organized through the Internet to balance the needs of the Individual with the Respect for Equality.
Commutalism is structured to provide the necessary goods for the survival of everyone and introduces at the same time a new transparent form of Capitalism to trade all those goods which are not necessary, like in a market open to the competition of all superfluous goods.
For the sake of transparency, this new type of Capitalism would rule that each single transaction must be reported on the Net to become visible like an invoice made public and taxable at the origin with one fix percentage applied for everyone.
In such system, all private properties and their owners like also all money transactions and trades of private property must be publicly reported on the Net. This is to prevent unlawful transactions and root out corruption through the immediate confiscation of those goods that have not been reported.
Moreover, to reduce Greed and restore the financial equilibrium worldwide, it will be enough to eliminate the concept of inheritance. The private property of the people will return to the State after the death of each person to be auctioned among all citizens. People could spend as much as they want to educate their children but inheritance and donations would not be allowed.
Once the survival is guaranteed for everybody there will be no need to be as tolerant with crime as we are today when the crime is a consequence of our corrupted system.
In Commutalism, the right to own must be protected and guaranteed also for those who want to work and trade their own Time to obtain more than just the basic necessities provided by the system.

As a matter of fact, the TI report is in essence a perception index. It prepares reports, not on corruption but on perception of corruption whereas the PPP-led government is taking concrete steps to combat corruption. One example is that of Public Accounts Committee that comprises of vocal members of leading parties of the parliament and that does not spare anyone involved in corruption whatever his stature or privileges. If TI was seriously desirous of reforming the society or our officialdom, it would have collected concrete figures instead of generating junk studies and then handed them over to PAC since this Committee is not the government but a broad-based parliamentary body
