Existing System
|
System Proposed by civil society
|
|
No politician or senior
officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti
Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before
starting investigation or prosecution in any case, they have to take
permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be
investigated.
|
Lokpal at centre andLokayukta
at state level will be independent bodies.ACB and CBI will be merged into
these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution
against any officer or politician without needing anyones permission.
Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next
1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
|
|
No corrupt officer is
dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which
is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever
it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is
never implemented.
|
Lokpal andLokayukta will have complete
powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer.CVC and all departmental
vigilance will be merged intoLokpal and state vigilance will be merged into
Lokayukta.
|
|
No action is taken against corrupt
judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of
India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.
|
Lokpal &Lokayukta shall
have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing
anyones permission.
|
|
Nowhere to go -
People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.
|
Lokpal &Lokayukta will
have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
|
|
There is so much corruption
within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret
that it encourages corruption within these agencies.
|
All investigations inLokpal
&Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of
investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against
any staff ofLokpal &Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced
within two months.

|
Weak and corrupt people are
appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.
|
Politicians will have
absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members
ofLokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent
and public participatory process.
|
|
Citizens face harassment
in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only
complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior
officers also get their cut.
|
Lokpal &Lokayukta will get
public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty ofRs
250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and
award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
|
|
Nothing in law to recover
ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy
that money.

the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
