The solution as suggested... by
Former chief secretary A. Ravindra: There are two worlds here in Bangalore — the world of technology and the world of misery. Corruption levels seem to be high especially at the service level. So, greater transparency, in the operations of municipal bodies for instance, will help. Also, people must know that they should not bribe. Besides, within government, if the levels of hierarchy (to get anything done) come down, so will corruption. And, once, the quality of services improves — if we get better water and power supply, for example — the tendency to pay more for good quality services will also reduce. Initiatives like the selfassessment of property tax, which I introduced, will also help. So, yes, corruption will come down, provided we put these measures in place.
Former chief minister M. Veerappa Moily: E-governance can check in bringing down corruption. This ensures transparency. As chairman of the Revenue Reforms Commission, I had emphasised on this aspect. For example, e-governance or computerisation can check the outgo of liquor right from the point of its manufacture at the distilleries. Just like fiscal accountability, I recommend political responsibility Act. Besides, politicians earlier never used to make use of bureaucrats to collect money, but it is rampant now
Some of the tainted politicians and beureocrates also commented on the same.... and they are the ones who are going to formulate and implement the strategy for fighting the corruption [blick chances...]
So guys and gals, close your eyes [like ostrichs do] and let whatever is happening to happen.....
or else fight.... it
