Not all Punjabis. However, Punjabis do tend to cater to their own baradari and bypass merit. Unfortunately, Pakistan politics is so corrupt and it carries a huge potential of making a politician really rich in a short period of time through corruption, it also gives them immense power. Power corrupts if you don't have your moral compass pointing in the right direction. Since Pakistani Politics is a dirty game consequently and unfortunately corrupt people gravitate towards it. Pakistan's political structure power base is the province of Punjab.
Since Punjabis naturally are bind in their baradari system they favour their own. Newcomers use the influence of their already corrupt seniors to fill in political space. When they get into Politics or Government sector they work for the wishes of their seniors. Seniors want to carry on their corruption to accumulate more wealth and power. To continue on their ways they need collusion with their own people in power corridors and at important posts in the government sector.
This is the reason we see corrupt people who speak Punjabi and Urdu in Punjabi accents all across power corridors and in the government sector and Pakistan, Armed forces are not immune to it also, hence Punjabis became synonymous with corruption. "Punjabi hay, corrupt Hoga" is a very common saying throughout Pakistan.
For Punjabis to wash their name we all have to get together and make politics and Government jobs profit free for the politicians and for Government employees.
