Is the caretaker also the thief?

With an economy in ruins, rapidly shrinking public amenities and an external image to put the least patriotic person to shame, the Pakistani public is desperately seeking a remedy to the root cause of this distress- a new political order through the induction of caretaker government. 

Caretaker governments are used in many democracies to manage the state affairs in times of an election when the current parliament is dissolved until the new government takes control. It is temporary in nature and thus, meant to oversee administrative tasks only not policy formation. A neutral caretaker government can help to ensure transparency during the electoral process.
