How can we remove corruption

To remove corruption from the society, a complete change of the political, social, and economic system is necessary. The new revision of pay scales, however liberal, can reduce corruption. The reason is that the wealth targets aimed at by corrupt officials are very high. Similarly, a mere change in government is quite ineffective. The new government has to rely on permanent services for its day to day administration. Unless the motive or inducement for corruption is removed, corruption will continue. Four steps, however; may be of some use. First, wide discretionary powers should be taken away from individual officials. Secondly, Anti-corruption department should be made more effective. Thirdly, the minds of the people should be changed by the prevalence of moral values. Lastly, the law-breakers should be punished severely and dealt with iron-hand.
