  • Corruption and bribes: Now officially approved in Indian Municipality


    Posted on September 16th, 2007 No comments

    Corruption is a global phenomenon and it is more-or-less everywhere. It sometimes has some strong and deep roots that the government can’t uproot.

    The Municipal Corporation of Ghaziabad (MCG) came up with an innovative idea to make bribe system official. Now people can bribe the government officials by giving them money but it has to be submitted to the office in a form of a cheque.

    A contractor who bags a tender for a government project is now required to pay 15 per cent of the quoted amount to MCG. That’s the kickback money he would ordinarily have paid to department employees. But now it’s going into the municipality’s coffers. (Times of India)

    I won’t be surprised if the contractors begin adding a “bribe” amount in tender proposal itself.
