Subject: Pl suggest systemic changes in Govt. procedures to reduce Corruption

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 sceptical 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.
