the news agenda and were the ones who
were quoted and portrayed in stories...

Prevention, Education & Awareness
Raising Work?
Create a culture of integrity (long-term):
• Bring together all important parties in the fight against corruption (e.g.
government, civil society, media, public).
• Educate about integrity and what to expect from elected officials civil
servants, etc.
• Stimulate societies to move from a culture of acceptance of corruption
to one of rejection of corruption.
• Promote access to information (e.g. through transparency portals or e-
government utilities).

25. Set an example..
• NGOs and other institutions also need to take steps to avoid becoming
corrupt themselves.
• Human rights organizations and NHRIs should be financially
transparent themselves
• Information needs to be socially contextualized. information available in
an appropriate form to those who have a legitimate interest in their
work.
• Codes of conduct that clearly identify and sanction corrupt forms of
behavior, promote good practices (on recruitment of staff for
example), and protect staff when attempts are made to corrupt
them, may be useful.

countries to consider revising laws

encourage law reform

– Judges would understand cases better
– Prosecutors avoid less certain cases
– Cases take less time in court
– Criminals deterred by risk of conviction

27. Whistle-blowers
• Those within the system can act as whistle-blowers
• They can inform about the corruption
• Govt. of India has given approval to enact a law to
safeguard the whistle-blowers

identity of whistle-blowers

28. Pay them Bribe..!
A Zero rupee note is a tool to help you achieve the goal of
zero corruption. The note is a way for any human being to
SAY NO to corruption without the fear of facing the
encounter with persons in authority.
So next time someone asks you for bribe, take out your
zero rupee note & PAY THEM BRIBE…!

29. Some simple but effective ways..
• No tainted MPs and MLAs • No discretionary powers to
distribute freebees
•All political parties should
stop fielding candidates with
criminal record.
•No politician or govt official be
allowed to have discretionary
powers to distribute land, financial
grants, jobs or any other kind of
favour like free TVs, laptops .
•Tax payers’ money must not be
squandered.

30. 28 days time limit for any public services
‘No more Tarikh pe Tarikh..!’
All applications to any public
office should be replied
, permissions
granted, certificates given and
any other services should be
provided to the public within 28
days or early. Officials who fail
to observe this limit must be
penalised.

31. No transfers before 5 years
‘No more Hera Pheri..!’
There is a possible threat of
transfer in case of negation
in corruption.
Political leaders should not
have powers to transfer
govternment officials.
And govt officials must have
secure tenure of at least 5
years to work at one place.

32. Use of public money must be disclosed
Any leader or govt official who
uses any public money must
publish its full details on their
official website. For Example if
a development officer has
spent Rs 5 crores to build a
village school, hospital or road
, he/she must make a full
disclosure of the money
spent, so that people can see
it.

33. Chase the money..
• Investigate excessive riches
• Require those who may receive bribes to
• Declare: require a declaration of assets
– Then we need to verify: but how? (costly process)
– Use ‘spot checks’
– Punish through courts those ‘caught’
– Often an effective deterrent
OR
• Publish: let public see declarations
– Then press / media will ‘verify’!

34. Give warnings..
A Second Chance..
• Warn for first and not-too-large corrupt offences
don’t prosecute. Cost effective!
– saves costs and time of courts
– evidence that many staff then go straight
– and work as loyal members of team
• Avoid prosecution where possible!
– It costs much money
– It uses vast resources
– It causes delays
– The results are not guaranteed
– But should not be misused by the bribe givers & takers..so, adequate
proportion of warning is necessary.

35. Speed court
Fast & Furious…!
• Use courts only if conviction virtually certain
• This may mean dropping old cases
– But try to avoid statutes of compulsory time limitation
• If possible have priority allowed for some new cases as best way to get
fast and fair justice
• That may deter people more than expecting trial ten years from now
• and concentrate resources more on present investigations than trying
to retrieve ‘dead’ evidence

36. Raise your voice against corruption..
‘Don’t be Barfi..!

37. Proper use of social media for awareness
Jaago Re..!
Proper use of print media
( newspaper, magazine etc. )
& electronic media ( news
channels, facebook, internet
etc. for corruption
awareness.

38. Be Determined..
Lage Raho Munnabhai..!
• The acid test … is not so much in the measures that
have been formulated, but the sincerity and
determination in enforcing them.
(Chinese proverb, quoted by Chua Cher Yak, (then) Director of the Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau, Singapore)
• Success depends on us doing the job well more than on our
choice of strategies, systems, tools…
• We need to know the ‘broader picture’, have clear
objectives, choose priorities, keep simple, select and
change targets ..

39. We will try to contain the
Corruption..
Jab tak hai Jaan..!Yes, we will.
Through sustained efforts.
Through transparency and
accountability.
Through dedication and complete
honesty.
Through education, media and
technology.
Through faith, conviction and
morality..
