Powai - 04 Mar 07 : One of the focus areas of the Anti Corruption
Bureau, Maharashtra, is to "Exercise Effective Corruption Control".
This can be done by ensuring that Government departments are made
citizen friendly and their procedures are designed so as to minimize
opportunities for corrupt practices.
The Mumbai - Pact Against Corruption (M-PAC), which is a collaboration
between the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the NGO Council and Karmayog,
invites you to suggest systemic changes for improving procedures
in Government Departments.
All suggestions received will be compiled and discussed with the
ACB, after which the ACB will take up the same with the concerned
Government Department and Ministry.
Examples of some of the areas where citizens have consistently
been expressing difficulties include: the Octroi Department, the
Regional Transport Office, the Building Proposals Department of
the BMC, the SRA, etc.
Please be specific in your suggestion regarding particular Government
Offices e.g. - which are the points of corruption there, why, and
how should the procedure be changed - what other steps e.g. disseminating
information, changes in policy should be done by them
Examples of good procedures and best practices that you have experienced
would also be welcome.

Let's not be skeptical about curtailing corruption. Corruption
is caused due to gaps in procedures. That's it. It's that simple
and straightforward. Laws which are fair, and implementation procedures
which are well thought out. That's usually all what's needed.
