Suggestions to eliminate corruption
by Rajnarain Gouda on Mar 25, 2008 04:46 PM

* Make corruption official - fix bribe rates for various services
* Allow bribes as authorized expenditure for companies in their books of accounts
* Allow bribes given by individuals as permissible exemptions for their income tax purposes
* Institute awards for the persons who take the highest bribe in a year and also for those who give the maximum in one year - like bribe bushan, bribe ratna etc.

If you want to laugh at the above suggestions, go ahead jolly well and enjoy your innocence. But do think of these things:

a) One political leader amasses something in excess of 50 crores and declares this as gifts from party members and the nation is silently watching technical proceedings by Income Tax Dept.

b) One political leader is removed as CM of a State because of corruption cases but is now a proud and internationally acclaimed Central Minister because of pressures of coalition politics

c) A CM conducts the wedding of her adopted son in a cricket stadium and disproportionate assets cases languish in courts for decades.

These are miniscule examples. We have a huge number of them all over the country.
