Asia Democracy Research Network Year Six - Regulating the Use of Money in Politics:

The Parliament of Pakistan has the constitutional responsibility to legislate on a vast number of subjects contained in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, while each Provincial Assembly can legislate on subjects under the constitutional authority of the provinces. [...] The executive authority of the Federation is exercised in the name of the President by the federal government, which consists of the Prime Minister and the Federal Ministers. [...] In Pakistan, the system of political finance is determined under the latest Act of Parliament on the subject, the Elections Act 2017,1 and before that, the Representation of People Act. [...] The ECP is empowered by law to suspend the membership of legislators until they submit the statements, and also to make public the names of any members who fail to submit the requisite statement. [...] The need of the hour is to build and enhance the capacity of the Election Commission of Pakistan to fully analyze and enforce a reformed system of political finance.
