It is well known fact from Kids to Grandpas across the length and breadth of the country that Bribery / Corruption is rampant in India and termed political interference as a key reason for poor enforcement of anti-bribery and corruption laws in the country. Hence, having a strong civil participation in the matter can help bring enhanced governance.
Successive Governments in India has taken various initiatives in the recent past to curb corruption, mostly by being vocal in the press without actual powers to the civil society nor punishing the culprits. There is an urgent need for a mechanism that would adopt a simple, independent, speedy and cheaper means of delivering justice by redressing the grievances of the people. There is a strong need to centralize the efforts against.
The LokpalBill as proposed by the Anna Hazare Committee, if enacted after discussing the suggestions by the civil society, will be a momentous step towards controlling corruption. We believe that India will bear the fruits of its efforts only if there is an equally effective enforcement supported by the civil society.
