1 Video-conference from Bangalore,3-April 2012 Role of citizens in enforcement of laws and regulations against bribery in India What is most common to the greatest number has least care bestowed upon it Aristotle T.R. Raghunandan Ipaidabribe.com
2 7 invalid excuses for accepting & condoning corruption Excuse 1: corruption is everywhere, Excuse 2: corruption always existed, Excuse 3: concept is vague and culturally determined, Excuse 4: cleansing will require whole change in attitudes & values, Excuse 5: corruption is not harmful; it is the grease that moves the economic engine, Excuse 6: Nothing can be done if the top is corrupt and corruption is systematic, Excuse 7: Don t worry, with free markets, it will eventually go away
3 Corruption: The Robert Klitgaard formula C=M+D-A Corruption equals Monopoly + Discretion Accountability
4 So there is hope, because.. Corruption is a crime of calculation, not of passion Large numbers drift into corruption if risks are low, penalties are mild and rewards great; they will move out if the system is tightened. Broad solution is to make the calculation risky Consider the solutions through the new lens of economics and not through the accustomed lenses of morality and ethics Learn from successful experiments
5 But some sobering thoughts.. Economic liberalisation & political competition might reduce corruption in long run because both tend to limit arbitrary exercise of monopoly power In short term, these might increase corruption by creating more opportunities while rules are rapidly changing, leading to free-for-all climate with little enforcement Corruption is costly to monitor and costly to punish
6 Current peoples mass movements and initiatives to reduce corruption Lokpal bill Strengthening the anti corruption laws Social audit movements, along with Right to Information Act Ipaidabribe.com s approach of crowdsourcing citizens reports.
7 The Lokpal bill From a systemic point of view, it is part of the A in Klitgaard s formula (C=M+D-A) Issues: Who? How Many? Jurisdiction? Powers? Relationship with other enforcement agencies?
8 Major bones of contention: Jurisdiction: Prime Minister? Judiciary? MPs in Parliament? Lower bureaucracy? Single law for Centre and States? Powers: Suo moto powers? Relationship with other agencies: With CBI and CVC?
9 Strengthening the Prevention of Corruption Act PCA only recognises the following as corruption: Bribery of National Public Officials Embezzlement, Misappropriation and other diversion of property by a Public Official Needs to comply with the enlarged definition of Corruption, contained in the UN Convention of Corruption 2005 (recently ratified)
10 What India does NOT consider as corruption yet; need to enlarge the definition under PCA. Bribery of Foreign Public Officials and Officials of Public International Organisations Trading in Influence Abuse of functions Illicit enrichment Bribery in the private sector Embezzlement of property in the private sector Concealment Obstruction of justice Liability of legal persons
11 Social audit movement and Right to Information Act. Commenced with National Rural Employment Guarantee programme. (Rs. 670 billion per year, 102 million families given 100 days of work each year) Civil society and local government cooperate to conduct social audit before people s assemblies (Gram Sabhas) RTI used to gather information in advance
12 Regular measurement System reforms High Corruption Low Corruption Whistleblower protection Swift punishment
13 Where ipaidabribe.com contributes to measuring corruption Public Expenditure Surveys Citizens Satisfaction Surveys Measuring corruption Quality of Service Delivery Surveys Crowdsourcing of Reports, the ipaidabribe.com way

17 Why do people pay bribes? (Answering this question, leads to the appropriate solution) Need for speed Misinformation by middlemen And agents Convenience Mutual Benefit Fear, nervousness & relief Persuasion by peers and mentors Fear of justified, unjustified or excessive punishment Ignorance & Unwillingness lo learn Avoiding Business loss
