Why
US Corporations and Expatriates Still
Hesitate
to Invest in Pakistan?
1) Local Law
and Order 2) Faulty or Nonexistent Conflict
Resolution
Almost every Pakistani Expatriate has
himself, his friend, or someone in the
family and relatives in Pakistan some
horror story to tell in relation to the
current law and order situation. It is
not a figment of imagination. Ihave a
few of my own since Iam myself involved
in helping Pakistan. The problem is continuing,
nay, compounded each passing day, with
no relief in sight. Car thefts, murders,
kidnappings, snatching of cellular phones,
daylight robberies are on the rise. So
also the staggering medical mishaps leading
to countless deaths.
If US Corporations and Expatriates are
defrauded by local Pakistani managers,
partners or companies then the local Pakistani
Third World justice system comes into
play and works 100% to the advantage of
the locals. The US Corporations and Expatriates
have no choice but to give up and resolve
not to think of investing in Pakistan
again. Iknow of many such cases and Iam
personally experiencing the consequences
of quite a few major frauds right now.
Can the Pakistan
Government do something about this disconcerting
situation?
