I am not sure why we need more laws and legislation. We hear the Jan Lokpal saying that we need Lokpal as an institution, independent of the Judiciary and the Executive and basically be nominated by say a panel of various eminent personalities. Now we have the police, the CBI, the Vigilance department which are all supposed to take care of criminal and corruption angles.
I can't understand why we can't just say that heads of these institutions such as CBI, the Vigilance department and the head of police in each state will be nominated by a panel instead of the existing methodology where some of these are political.
We have to see how we can get the heads of various boards such as the housing boards etc. also be nominated by a panel of eminent personalities.
Doing this and putting in systems of transparency and simplification of the rules should help in a big way to break the politician-institution nexus and hence make it difficult to be corrupt. I am sure we will be able to get enough heads of institutions who are clean and then allow them to enforce the cleanliness top down. Then making sure that these heads have the final say in terms of transfers etc will ensure that each of these departments work independently.
Just my wild thoughts on changing the existing rather than yet another institution.
