See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians, Circulate it to create
awareness ****
*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 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. ****
Dear All, Please go through the details carefully & try to be part of this
mission against corruption. Things to know about Anna Hazare and Lok pal
Bill-: ****
1.Who is Anna Hazare? ****
An ex-army man(Unmarried). Fought 1965 Indo-Pak war. ****
****
2.What's so special about him? ****
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra. **
**
****
3.This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the
village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it used to
be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It
has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
****
4. This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for
his social activities. ****
****
5. He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in
India. ****
****
6. How that can be possible? ****
He is advocating for a Bill, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill),
that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians
(ministers), bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds. ****
****
7. It's an entirely new thing right..? ****
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan.
Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to
change the bill to suit their theft (corruption). ****
****
8. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a
Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time? The first
thing he is asking for is: the govt should come forward and announce that
the bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT
the LOK PAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50% public
participation. Bcoz u can't trust the government entirely for making such a
bill which does not suit them. ****
****
9.What will happen when this bill is passed? ****
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge,
say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state,
Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial
in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be
punished.
****

Pass this on n show ur support..
