Cab Sec TSR and Lok Pal Bill
Cab Sec TSR Subramaniam's Op Ed in New Indian Express...my comments to him. I respect Shri TSR as another junior brother in service. My take on this subject is a little different. Instead of negativism of fighting corruption with another law which in my opinion is a futile exercise because , laws are compromised willingly by the powerful lobbies, I would suggest a simpler system to PREVENT corruption from occurring. In public affairs , neither bureaucrat nor the Minister should be afraid or feel shy to write what he honestly feels. In such a case we are unnecessarily providing a shroud of secrecy hiding government files from public view and on top of it grandly offered RTI Act with a plethora of Commissioners and bureaucratic wrangles to get even a simple fact out of the government. The Lok Pal will have to first gather evidence. How does he do it? CBI and the story continues. Instead simply make it mandatory to post the scanned noting three levels prior to the competent authority...
