Imagine a Pakistani federal govt employee getting a 5 merla (25x50) plot in Islamabad (G-11 or G-12) for just 27,778 rupees in 1992. That would have been a dream come true for that federal employee. Because even at that time, the average price of land in G-12/4 was around 250,000 ruppes/meral. But the irony is that a federal employees never ever gets this rate.
Based on recent report presented to the Pakistani Senate almost 502 plots were give to different politicians/bureaucrats in 1989-92 on such low rates. You can read the report for more deatail.

One urdu newspaper has even published the names of these people, a majority of them are still in the govt and some of them are really big names in our bureaucracy. So the question is how does a federal govt get rid of its own corrupt members, or can the federal govt question them at least? Or do you think that the election commission or the Supreme court would take notice of this.
In todays Pakistan there are so many examples of open corruption, but you would hardly see any reform or effort from the govt to stop or curbing it.
