Government Employment – Stupendous Skill

Muslim Murasu, February 2011

People having faith in the government and submitting pleas to it indicates of their plebeian attitude and ignorance. Ruling class secures its vote banks by throwing away small funds and materials in the name of freebies. People do not respect ministers. Gathering to distribute freebies, support myth, becomes farcical scene.
Many government employees submit pleas to the government for their demands. They form unions and organize fast, processions, strike, and accusatory meetings. They can be spotted griping on television. They go to courts. In such a situation, schemes for public are not going to be meaningful.
Every human being under the sky is liberal. But for Conduct certificate one has to go to an officer. But the same officer will have to get another one for vouching to get loan from bank. Modern servility introduced by British is splitting apart the people. One has to give certificate for another. This is the way government operates. An officer just for questioning. ‘Auditor’ atrocity is continuing without anyone to question. Accumulation of 70 lakh crore rupees of black money is pointing towards the weakness of the state machinery. Government works akin to the mythical deer. Who operates the government is an unsolved puzzle. Minister, bureaucrat, and employee, three groups are torturing and tormenting people.
Pleas should be fed into the computer. Date on which a plea was received, the name of the officer who has to sign, his monthly salary, house address, mobile number, caste, pending cases in his desk and department, files, should be displayed on the monitor. Data should be given to citizens at the street side browsing centers. This will make clear the volume of bribe and corruption.
Three lakh, thirty lakh applications easily pour in for a government post vacancy. The genuine reasons are easy salary, authority, and bribe for signature. M.A graduate is applying for the last rung position. Peon’s son, Chief Engineer’s son, Managing Director’s son, everyone become engineers in no time. Economic disparity gets defeated because of the free movement of bribe. Each one sitting in a government office tastes good income. But the authority to sign is reserved only for a few. Corruption will come down if this authority is spread across. Web cameras can be used to bring the office tasks, challenges, ugliness and beauty to the outer world. Voters will get to understand the unqualified, incompetent management and problems. The respect of the government will rise or fall.
