The loss due to bad governance ( non transparent , unaccountable , devoid of merit ) the root cause of corruption to India has been colossus & more so to the poorest economic class Dalits , minorities & lower castes . A bill that aims to stop corruption can hardly be called Jan Virodi . If the worse the critics say does come true , well the parliament can always amend it.
An estimation of the national loss due to bad governance : In sixties Korea was poorer than India . Their per capita GNP was lesser than ours . Now a Korean is on an average 16 times richer than an Indian. Our per capita GNP is ranked No. 138 India... 1,265 while South Korea is ranked 33 $ 20,591 . Corruption & good governance go hand in hand . An Indian today is poorer by $19,326 per year . Multiply it by 120 cr people = $231,912,000,000,000.00 ...$232 trillion annually of people's wealth has been stolen before it was earned , wasted away , whatever you may call it . Add to it lesser amounts that have been lost annually for past 64 years & it will be a colossal unimaginable amount. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Independent_Commission_Against_Cor... During the 16th National Assembly, which was formed in May 2000, civic groups came together to form the Citizens' Coalition for Anti- Corruption Legislation in order to file a petition for the legislation of anti-corruption policies during the National Assembly. The public responded favorably to this audacious move by the civic groups, whose subsequent outcome was the passing of the Anti-Corruption Act (ACA) on 28 June 2001. The ACA was roughly sketched, lacking substantive provisions and measures against corruption. It was through the ACA, however, that KICAC was born.. The KICAC was integrated into a larger agency entitled the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC), which was formally launched on 29 February 2008. This integration involved not only the KICAC, but also the Ombudsman of Korea and the Administrative Appeals Commission. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
