THIS IS A RESPONSE TO INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION'S FACEBOOK PAGE IDEA THAT PEOPLE COME UP WITH THEIR OWN VERSION OF LOKPAL BILL,I HAVE GIVEN MY VIEWS HERE.
Stalwarts like Anna hazare,Kiran Bedi,the Bhushan’s and Arvind kejriwal are drafting the bill, and they are doing a great job, I am just an ordinary young citizen of this country who is tired of corruption, here is my humble attempt at proposing some additions to be made in the bill.
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A MODEL COMPRISING OF 3 COMMITTIES -
1)THE SELECTION COMMITTEE-
This committee would conduct a simple exam checking the candidate’s proficiency in the local language and his/her general awareness and basic knowledge of the bill, also the committee would conduct an interview of the candidates who have a satisfactory performance in the interview
2)TRAINING COMMITTEE-
This committee would train the selected candidates, I suggest 4 training colleges throughout the country, conducting a 15 days diploma for making him/her ready for the post. Time to time seminars can be conducted to promote a continuous learning experience of lokpals. Also the lokpal of a particular area would be trained to use social networking sites like facebook/orkut to keep in touch with the people in that area, video sharing sites like youtube can also be used by lokpal to explain matters to the people of that area
3) THE REVIEW COMMITTEE-
This committee would-
a) Ask lokpal’s to submit monthly reports detailing their performance, with a special stress on cases which they are unable to solve
b) After assuming their post as Lokpal would get his/her net worth declared at the beginning and at the end of his/her term, so that a comparison can be done by the performance review committee and ensure that there has been no suspicious change in his wealth, a chartered Accountant’s services can be used here.
c) An yearly meeting would be held between the lokpal of an area and its residents, a copy of its report would also be sent to the review committee
d)This committee, if is not satisfied with the lokpal’s work or has received complaints about him/her ,can terminate him/her, after carrying out a detailed investigation and giving him/her a chance to explain his/her situation.
I hope more people come out and give ideas, THIS IS YOUR BILL PEOPLE, CONTRIBUTE!!
