A global corruption index is set to be published on 31 January. It’s worth remembering that Musharraf left the country at 143 in the corruption index. The corrupt Zardari government ranked at 137, while the notorious Nawaz Sharif secured a position at 161. The honest and upright Imran Khan brought it back to 140. Pakistan currently holds a firm position at 140, and my prediction is that it will either improve its standing or maintain it this year, with no significant decline. Imran Khan’s anti-corruption stance marked a unique period in Pakistan’s recent history.
Perhaps another reason is that from Musharraf to the PML-N government, dollars continued to flow into the Pashtun region for the benefit of the United States, maintaining an environment conducive to terrorism. However, with Imran Khan’s government, changes in Afghanistan and alterations in the overall environment resulted in a clear reduction in the dollars coming into Pakistan.
