KEY POINTS

·        The Prime Minister's theme at the Red Fort rightly was that handling corruption was a joint endeavour between the government and the public.

·        Without a union of minds and endeavour little can be achieved to enhance our moral credibility. A bribe taker cannot flourish without a bribe giver. It is as simple as that.

·        What the common man is most agitated about is the dishonesty of government officials, both in the higher echelons and at the bottom.

·        Digitisation has no doubt streamlined the issue of critical documents such as birth/death certificates and driving licences.

·        Corruption however remains unbearable in areas such as registration of documents relating to buying and selling property and sanction of planning permissions to put up new buildings.

·        Rates of illegal under-the-table payments have been fixed for different stages of a project however small or big they may be. This accounts for the high real estate prices.

·        Deterrent laws and executive action alone cannot bring down levels of dishonesty. The analogy is with conventional crime.

·        Consensus among criminologists is that stiffer sentences are not accompanied by a dip in crime.

·        Unless our future generations are indoctrinated in favour of honesty in their careers there is precious little to hope for them.
