Measures to combat corruption
Foolproof laws should be made so that there is no room for discretion for
politicians and bureaucrats. The role of the politician should be minimized.
People should have a right to recall the elected representatives if they see them
becoming indifferent to the electorate.
Funding of elections is at the core of political corruption. Electoral reforms are
crucial in this regard. Several reforms like: State funding of election expenses
for candidates; strict enforcement of statutory requirements like holding inparty elections, making political parties get their accounts audited regularly
and filing income-tax returns; denying persons with criminal records a chance
to contest elections, should be brought in.
Responsiveness, accountability and transparency are a must for a clean system.
Bureaucracy, the backbone of good governance, should be made more
citizen friendly, accountable, ethical and transparent.
More and more courts should be opened for speedy & inexpensive justice so that
cases don't linger in courts for years and justice is delivered on time.
