Abstract
Significant changes have been brought into effect in the political system of Pakistan under the Eighteenth amendment. Restoration of the parliamentary system envisioned in the 1973 Constitution was ensured, Concurrent Legislative List (CLL) was abolished and discretionary powers of the president curtailed. The said amendment ensured the transfer of seventeen federal ministries to the provincial level. The issues concerning the Higher Education Commission (HEC), oil and gas exploration, drug regulation, environmental protection, agriculture, Workers Welfare Fund (WWF) and Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) have been discussed in the paper. Employees of certain devolved ministries and departments voiced their apprehensions about issues that were not effectively addressed. This paper discusses the same and recommends that the Constitution of 1973 should be followed in letter and spirit at the federal and provincial levels. This paper also analyses a few matters confronted in implementation of the Eighteenth amendment implementation. The qualitative research method has been utilized for this paper.
