Governance
Weak Administrative Capacity & Red Tape
Vacant technical posts, constant transfer churn, and process that outlives its purpose. The state often cannot deliver what it has already decided and funded.
The state often cannot execute what it has already decided and funded — posts sit vacant, officers rotate before they learn the job, and process survives long after the reason for it is gone.
What keeps this stuck
- Recruitment freezes and technical posts left vacant for years
- Transfer churn that moves officers before they learn a brief
- No specialist cadre — generalists rotated through technical departments
- A culture where a wrong decision is punished and no decision is not
- Lowest-bid (L1) procurement that buys the cheapest option rather than one that works
- Paperwork and portals that preserve a broken workflow instead of re-engineering it
