The income of the lower local government levels is too low. They do not succeed in generating enough income from taxes and levies and hardly receive any grants from higher government levels. As a result they have barely enough money to pay for recurrent expenditure.

Maintenance of law and order is in the hands of Levies and police. The role of the police is restricted to the A area of Dera Murad Jamali. The Levies fall under the control of the Assistant Commissioner. The Frontier Corps (FC) is also deployed in the district for the protection of the Chinese and other foreignors working on the Pat Feeder and Utch projects.

The political parties active in the district are Jamoohri Watan Party (JWP), Balochistan National Movement-Hayee (BNM-H), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Balochistan National Party (BNP). However, political elections are determined by tribal and personal factors more than party affiliation.
