QUESTION-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.

ANSWER
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 anyoneⳠpermission. 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.

QUESTION-
 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.

ANSWER

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.

Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.

& Lokayukta shall be enquired

Weak and corrupt people are appointed as
heads of anti-corruption

agencies.

in selections of Chairperson

and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta.

a transparent and public participatory

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.

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.

wealth. A corrupt person can come

out of jail and enjoy that money.

corruption will be recovered from

all accused.

Punishment for corruption is minimum

6 months and maximum 7 years.
