Salient features of “Jan Lokpal Bill”
An institution called LOKPAL at the centre
and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up Like Supreme Court and Election
Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments.
No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.
Investigations in any case will have to be completed
in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that
the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
“Jan Lokpal Bill”
The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be
recovered at the time of conviction.
How will it help a common citizen?
If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time
in any government office.Lokpal will impose financial
penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as
compensation to the complainant.
But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak
people as Lokpal members? That won’t be possible
because its members will be selected by judges, citizens
and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely
transparent and participatory process.
What if some officer in Lokpal becomes
corrupt?
Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within
two months.
What will happen to existing anti-corruption
agencies? Anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged
into Lokpal.
It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those
who are being victimized for raising their voice against
corruption.
Lokpal And You.
Jan Lokpal Bill will improve existing anti-corruption systems.
Expected Changes.
Existing System• No politician ever goes
to jail despite huge evidence
• because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI
directly come under the government.
• Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case,
they have to take permission from the
same bosses, against whom the case has to be
investigated.
System Proposed by civil society
• They will have power to initiate
investigations and prosecution against
any officer or politician without needing anyone’s
permission.
Existing System
• 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.
System Proposed by civil society• 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.
Existing System
• Weak and corrupt people are appointed
as heads of anti-corruption
agencies.
System Proposed by civil society
• Politicians will have absolutely
no say.• Selections will
take place through a
transparent and public
participatory process.
Existing System
• Citizens face harassment ,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.
System Proposed by civil society• It Will 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.
Existing System• Nothing in law
to recover Money
Involved.• A corrupt person can come out of
jail and enjoy that money.
System Proposed by Civil society
• Loss caused to the government
due to corruption will
be recovered from all accused.
Existing System• Small
punishment for
corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7
years.
System Proposed by civil society
• Enhanced punishment
- The punishment
would be minimum 5 years and
maximum of life imprisonment.
