The indirect selection of senators gives no leverage to people to hold them accountable. The process actually disenfranchises people and allows politicians to make a fast buck at the expense of ethics and morality.
People with dubious merit and credentials and known for their servility to party bosses rise to the top while those with integrity stay excluded from the political participation. Those up for sale have no moral compunction and those purchasing these saleable commodities have no moral scruples. In this state of ethical anomie, who is going to act as a moral Leviathan for the poor, betrayed and frustrated people of Pakistan?
