How transparent our decision makers are?
How transparent our decision
makers are?
A senior officer's
wife want to buy sugar in bulk, to
prepare sweets for a special occasion. She
insisted sir je to join for shopping, they explored high end shopping mall,
supermarkets, hypermarket, begumbazar and found huge variation in price. As madam
insisted for a better deal, he could manage even a better deal getting direct
delivery from the unit. The savings is around 40 % & its huge even for
upper middle class family.
Next day, Sir Je
was to decide on a tender to buy sugar
for distribution to poor people and he has to buy few hundred tons every month
involving crores of rupees. He finalized on a quote 30% higher than what he
paid for his own transaction.
System is so
loose ended and it may not pinpoint him as guilty. If someone point fingers towards him, he may pass the
blame on political system. Let him be honest to himself, If he want to take an
appropriate decision within the powers vested with the position (
responsibilities in right spirit), anyone can stop him?
In both cases be
bought sugar only. Only difference is it's pure white crystal sugar yesterday and
same white crystal sugar blended with bundles & biscuits today.
LIKE WIFE LEAD HIM TO TAKE A RIGHT DECISION, WE HAVE
TO LEAD THEM AS WATCHDOGS TO SAFEGUARD PUBLIC MONEY.
