Pakistani politicians are a different breed. While politicians around the world would want to increase their control of government decisions, in Pakistan, our politicians are in a hurry to give up all their control. They have already given up the control of security, governance, foreign policy and elections in Pakistan. Now they are in a hurry to give up their control of making laws and holding discussions in parliament. Politicians have other options if they do not want to do their jobs. They can make changes to transfer their responsibilities to the provincial assemblies.
Or, they can create a new system in which the president is elected for 15 years and acts like a mediator and final checker of all government activities. The president can be selected from a specific category like former bureaucrats and judges with no party affiliations or extremely rich Pakistani citizens (to attract foreign investment as well). There are many other options to choose from but simply shifting responsibilities to other institutions would only overburden them.
