It is we who can stop corruption by not asking for things against the rule.?

Question

It is we the public and not the politician and govt who can stop corruption. if the public wants every thing to be done as per rule. i think the corruption can be stopped. we want the officers to do them favours by going against the law and rules and they charge fee for that. am i right or wrong?

Answer 1

u r right.public can stop corruption.but the question is 'who will initiate it it'?we indians blame polititicians,beurocracy 4 corruption.but truth is that we are ready 2 pay bribe 4 getting job,admissions in good institution etc.

Answer 2

The public will always ask for more than they are eligible. It is not corruption. The govt. officials take bribes to grant licence or approval, this is corruption. They are already paid salaries to grant licence and approval, but they do not do so, they only give licence on payment of bribe. The public have no choice but to pay bribe. I strongly suggest that all public servants should be punished severely for taking bribes. They should be educated to do their jobs sincerely and not expect or take bribes, but be satisfied with their salaries. There should be a effective surveillance system to detect and punish the bribe takes. This will stop corruption at the root. It is no use blaming the poor public, who pay bribe not by choice but by force.

Answer 3

Ourselves followin law and being law abiding citizens is one measure in curbing corruption. The other is punishment for doing corrupt practices. Both are important. Carrot and stick.
