Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Everything in this era revolves around the decisions made by powerful people in society, particularly governmental people and politicians and many of them resort to misuse power for personal gains such as money, luxuries or even more power. This means that corruption could make you gain a lot but it also means that you deprive certain people of a lot.
How do we reduce corruption in the government by incentivising government employees? First, increasing emoluments of government workers like polices and judges. Make it so attractive that losing the job is the bad news.
The above can be done through a system of incentives.
1) Make a percentage payable to the concerned department for every project that is completed on time and within budget. This money will be distributed among those in that office. (This will prevent the wrong contractor being given the job for monetary considerations)
2) Give judges an incentive for each case that is settled within the allocated time
3) Give polices an incentive per 100 lodged and a bonus for each year where there is less than 1% cases that have not been solved. The bonus is given to that police station where the distinction has been achieved. (so there is an incentive both to lodge FIRs and to solve cases). Every Police station has to try its best to meet both criteria.
By this, we can incentive our government and make it a very lucrative and paying job and make the government more efficient. We can also remove black money and increase tax collections. Politicians will be less likely to be corrupt since their election funding is taken care off. They are less likely to use bride to win elections since the police will not support them anymore. Politicians will focus on thinking of better projects to win elections. But beware those who remain 'corrupt'.
Finally, by the strength and cooperation from everyone, we can achieve our goal of a corruption free Malaysia. Thank you.
