How we can curb the corruption

Existing System System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite
huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB)
and CBI directly come under the government. Before
starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any
case, they have to take permission from the same
bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.
Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be
independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into
these bodies. They will have power to initiate
investigations and prosecution against any officer  or
politician without needing anyone’s permission.
Investigation should be completed within 1 year and
trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the
corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because
Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to
dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body.
Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior
corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.
Lokpal and Lokayukta will have  complete powers to
order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all
departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and
state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because
permission is required from the Chief Justice of India
to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.
Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have  powers to investigate
and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s
permission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no
action is taken on their complaints.
Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear
every complaint.
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance
departments. Their functioning is so secret that it
encourages corruption within these agencies.  
All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be
transparent. After completion of investigation, all case
records shall be open to public.  Complaint against any
staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and
punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of
anti-corruption agencies.
Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of
Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta.
Selections will take place through a transparent and
public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices.
Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only
complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on
complaints because senior officers also get their cut.
Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved
in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per
day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty
officer and award that amount as compensation to the
aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt
person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.
Loss caused to the government due to corruption will
be recovered from all accused.
Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for
corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7
years.
Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be
minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.
