Rectifying the 18th Amendment

One just has to remember that over devolution led to the disintegration of the Yugoslav state. In Pakistan, before it goes too far, we should try and correct the process. The evidence indicates that the 18th Amendment has created more problems than it has solved. It has exposed the provincial governments’ lack of clarity and competence.
