I Worked at ADB to Reform Pakistan’s Courts | What Really Happened Under Gen. Musharraf | Ep.25

In this video I share my first-hand experience working on the Asian Development Bank’s Access to Justice Program in Pakistan. Talk about what actually worked: new Family Courts with 6-month deadlines, the Freedom of Information Act, Consumer Protection Courts, and the infrastructure push that built new courthouses and police stations across Pakistan. But I also unpack why most reforms failed: weak case management systems, bureaucratic resistance, broken monitoring, and a political system that keeps power centralized instead of empowering Local Governments. If you want to understand why Pakistan struggles with judicial delays, police reform, and why “reform” has become an empty word after so many years, this is for you. Next video: More lessons from inside the governance reform programs + what needs to change. #Pakistan #JudicialReform #Governance #AccessToJustice #asiandevelopmentbank #PakistanHistory #CivilService #AssistantCommissioner #Bureaucracy #LocalGovernment #razarumi #razarumimemoirs
