PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION.

 

1. Increase the number of workers

 

In many government sector offices, the workload has gone up drastically, but the recruitment to fill up the vacancies has declined.

This gives officials an option to delay the work by officials and expects monetary or other benefits for faster completion.

2. Give a better salary in govt jobs

Many employees in government positions receive a low wages like clerks, office staff, etc. Hence they expect to make money through bribery.

Thus, the public officials try to delay the work for so long that the client is fed up and opts for bribery for progress in the work.

So the low salary is one of the reasons for corruption. To curb this, their salaries should be raised periodically.

3. CCTV Cameras in most govt offices

In every ATM, there is a camera to keep a watch on the public taking their cash.

 

Then why not government offices have cameras to watch employee performance.

Even many employees openly take the bribe in the presence of ordinary men.

This public bribery is due to the confidence that the public wants their work more than the amount they pay to them as bribes.

4. Speed up the work process in govt organizations.

Most corporate offices are full-fledged, running from 8-9 am. But the government offices start from 10 to 11 am and wind up by 3.30 to 4 pm with a lunch break of one & a half hour in between.

This indicates how much commitment lies in work and how fast the work goes on. If there are mistakes in the work or delay in the work, civilians have to run behind those workers to rectify or complete the work.

In doing so, they pay bribes to get the work done. This enhances the chances of corruption or else work is not done. So there should be an accountability of work done in government works and targets to complete the work on a time basis. Or else, instead of being public servants, they tend to act as public bosses.

5. Law to dismiss
from service if found to be involved in corruption.

This seems a better option. For instance, if you see cases where the anti-corruption bureau rides an officer home and finds disproportionate assets, the officer is suspended from employment and taken for judicial trials.

But after a couple of years, you will find them in employment at the same or even better positions.

So this creates no fear among the officials against corruption.
