Following are the measures the govt. should take to introduce reforms & make employees accountable to end the corruption or at least reduced to the best possible level from government offices by government officials.
Uniform of civilian employees
A govt. employee must wear official uniform just like law enforcement officials do. This should apply to all,either permanent or contract employees, either officer or other official. This is the first step.
The reason is very simple. There are so many person who introduce themselves as employees but later found to be outsiders. Many outsiders behave to be an official but working either as independent agent in govt. premises or the front-person (front man,front woman) for employees to deal through corrupt practices with the public.
Employment card placement
Each govt. employee must wear his card during duty hours and in the premises even at the end of the duty hours.
Name plate
Government employees must have name, just like military and civil armed forces.
Declare Assets
They must declare assets. Those assets they own, owned by their spouse/spouses, children, parents and all other their dependents.
Tax Return
Govt. officials must submit their tax returns, no matter their annual income doesn't lie in a tax slab. This is as important as assets declaration.
One Window operation
Increase One-Window operations in government offices to minimize the public interaction directly with the government officials at different channels and levels.
Objections and feedback must be in written
For an official work, if you have complete paper work and documentation but still harassed and returned back from the government offices by the employees saying this paper is not included
, this paper is required
. In case the common man arrange the unnecessary paper as well, he is still harassed with different tactics. This should be a must have obligation that if there is an objection of any kind, must be given in written on official paper.
Provide requirements online
Whatever is the requirement for an official work, fees to documents, must be provided online
Effective complaint desks
There must be effective complaint desks and.
No mercy policy
Until and unless there is no mercy
policy for government employees (officials) if caught for corrupt practices, harassing, delaying tactics etc.
Not on seat and being late is also a corruption because common man has taken off from his work place and he is affected, definitely.
The measures described above are not the only measures, with time, new measures will be added in this article to end the corruption and the loopholes in the system causing and encouraging corruption and public harassment.
