At the end of paper a four tiers model for new provinces is elucidated, that model was used in Papua New Guinea.

Pakistan by administration has same structure like Papua New Guinea. According to model there should be an independent commission or entity, Parliament and Ministries role for decision making. However, one day we have to make decision for new provinces either it is done earlier or later. Obviously this development would be undesirable for the larger provinces.

Similarly, there has been a perpetual confrontation among the federating units over dividing the monetary and water resources in the country. So the more provinces only mean the more controversies. A few years ago, the Parliament passed the 18th amendment whereby provinces were ensured greater provincial autonomy. A number of federal ministries and departments were devolved to the provinces.

Similarly, the Concurrent Legislative List was also abolished, enabling the provinces to exclusively legislate on a large number of crucial matters. Therefore, it was being expected from the provincial governments that they would also focus on the devolution process to strengthen the location government institutions. However, they have yet not made any serious endavour to empower the local government institutions. Consequently, now there is a concentration of power at the provincial level.

These provinces are just behaving in an arbitrary and totalitarian fashion. Therefore, there is no significant positive impact of 18th amendment on ordinary Pakistanis as the large-sized provinces look absolutely reluctant to devolve power to the grassroot level.

Such a plan can be implemented with multi-partisan and civil society oversight. A roadmap can be developed to launch a pilot and adapt learnings. Once it is known to be effective, it can be applied on a broader scale. This process will, however, require careful consensus-building at the national level.

The implications of more provinces on administrative and fiscal matters need to be thought through carefully. Other matters, such as provincial representation in the Senate, will need political consensus. But we need to be mindful that all this will be futile if not paralleled with tangible governance reform. Increasing the number of provinces is justifiable. But we need to be mindful of the objective.

In order to achieve this, careful planning; execution; and the right motivation are needed.
