A task have been given to you
minimize the corrupt practices in public offices and employees have to be
aware of more accountable and responsible towards their work. Suggest what sort
of measures/actions you will take to implement your directions.
Solution:
Steps to Prevent corruption
practices in Public offices
1. Give better salary in
govt jobs: Many employees in government positions receive low
salary like clerks, office staff etc. Hence they expect to make money by
bribery. For they try to delay the work for so long that the client is fed up
and opts for bribery for progress in the work.
2. Increase the number of
workers: In many offices of the government sector, the work load
has gone up drastically but
the recruitment of vacancies has declined This
gives an option for delaying the work by officials and expect monetary or other
benefits for faster completion.

3. Law to dismiss from
service if found to be involved in corruption. This seems a better
option. For instance if you see cases where anti-corruption bureau rides
an officers home and finds disproportionate assets, the officer
is suspended from employment and taken for judicial trials. But
after couple of years you will find them in employment at same or
even better positions. So this creates no fear among the officials against
corruption.
4. Keep transactions online
and provide bill for every purchase: Many of them do not pay
taxes and escape This involves corruption. Making payments online
through bank accounts and provision of bills for every transaction involving
money.
5. Camera in most govt
offices: In every ATM there are camera to keep a watch on the public taking
their money. Then why not government offices have cameras to have a
watch on the employ performance. Even there are
many employ’s who openly
take bribe in presence of common men. This public bribery
is due to confidence that public wants their work more than
the amount they are paying to them as bribes.
6. Speed up
the work process in govt institutes: Most corporate
offices are in full fledged running by 8- 9 am but the government offices
start by 10 to 11 am and wind up by 3.30 to 4 pm with a lunch break of 1& half
hour in between. This indicates how much of commitment lies in
the 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. This makes the chances of corruption more or else
work is not done or problem rectified.
7. Make Media
responsible and fix laws to be so: There are many major scams
and corruption events involving media. Though the media is well aware
of the corruption happening they stay silent due to their support for
some political parties or else their owners get
some monetary benefits from the rulers. Even there are
many reporters who though come across some scam or corruption, they
stay silent without revealing it for press for having
received monetary benefits to do so. If media personnel are found to
be guilty for not having exposed the scam or corruption intentionally, they
have to be prosecuted and their licence be withdrawn.

8. Verify the selection
procedures: Many people compete for government jobs and in the process
there are corruption happening in the selection of candidates for the posts. So
let the selection criteria and procedure used be transparent and any
misconduct from this should be punishable.
9. Keep inflation low: This
is another factor for keeping corruption high and also persistent. Due to rise
in prices, any amount of income seems to be insufficient.
10. Speed up the judgment
and increase the courts: Many cases of corruption take years to be given
verdict. This delay in cases creates lack of fear for being corrupt and also
huge time span for court trials gives sufficient time to make alterations in
the witness.
