Let us understand Corruption Situation
You keep a Bone in front of Dog and expect him to not eat it – then God Help your brain
Dog should be HONEST
Here comes the Brilliant Idea
You came up with innovative solution: How about chain them (Jan
LokPal)
Expect Productivity. What about impact on behavior and motivation? People forget that
job has to be done
What will happen?
Jaao Lokpal se Kaam Karwa Lo. Kaagaz Hai Naheen aur
chale aayee
How about removing the bone itself?
You cannot fight Corruption. You can only remove opportunities to be corrupt
How do you remove the bone?
Dramatically change the way Govt functions
India does not need JAN LOK PAL
India needs massive Administrative reforms
What’s the difference? Jan Lok Pal does not solve the problem of getting the work done.
Why there is corruption?
Because system is rotten and does not let job get done on time
Retail Corruption: There is a Queue
Too many people demanding service from a system not capable of handling it. You want your work done faster: Pay a fee to get the
job done faster OR Get a social favor from Govt officer
You want to jump the queue
Retail Corruption: Rules are complicated
Lots of times you reach an office and you are told that paper work incomplete. Complicated forms, and unreasonable demand also
leads to frustration. Rules are not transparent.
How will a honest person deal with this situation?
Which direction you will take?
This is not a joke. Ask a person who runs a business that’s what is asked
from him from various departments. This is not corruption – genuine rules
Here’s the Hard Fact: Very confusing rules
It is the corruption that keeps the system moving
A super honest person will ensure that nothing moves if he starts following rules
Problem is somewhere else: Government rules
and regulations
What India needs?
Massive Administrative reforms
Minimum Government Maximum Governance
Outsource and Automate all touch points between junta and Government based on
simple rule of Law
Make every organization measurement driven and hold the top level officer
accountable
Withdraw from areas where you don’t need to exist
Look for Innovative Solutions
• Transparency International estimates that truckers pay annually 22,200 crores (US$ 4.5 billion) in bribes
Record Police work
How Gujarat handles corruption at top?
Most of the CEOs say they get the job done in Gujarat without paying any bribery. How?
Wall Street Journal website
Government officers are rewarded for getting job done
Corruption is not a worthy fight
• End the reasons for why junta has to bribe
• Reform the Government processes and cut down lines
What’s the difference?
Lets get the job done Lets find excuses for not getting job done
In a fight against corruption, it’s easy to lose focus. The main point is to get the job done
Lets find whom to blame?
