1.    Reducing nepotism, corruption in recruitment at lower position


         There is rampant nepotism in recruitment in judiciary, executive and police, along with usual corruption. Much of the nepotism and corruption is because of discretionary powers and interviews.
         One of our MRCM Party’s demands and promises to reduce nepotism by canceling interviews and confine to broad based written recruitment exams (and physical tests where needed) at all entry level positions and Govt colleges (except Military). If the person is in-appropriate, the Jury can expel him, but recruitment wont involve any interviews. Further, we will cancel interviews in all exams inside all colleges, including medical colleges except Military.
         Using the Third MRCM Govt Order as tool and by obtaining YESes of crores of citizens, we shall enact Govt Orders that will abolish interviews at all entry level positions and encourage written exams (and or physical tests where applicable).



2.    Reducing nepotism, favoritism, nexuses, corruption in recruitment at top position


         As of today, positions like District Police Chief, District Education Officer, RBI Chief etc are filled by nepotism, corruption, nexuses and favoritism. The officer who has highest nexuses comes to these positions. And after occupying these positions, all they do is serve these nexuses. The procedure of replacement automatically cuts nepotism --- for no person can have millions of citizens as relatives. Further, using Third MRCM Govt Order and by obtaining YESes of crores of citizens, we would support direct elections for the following positions
Direct elections at National Level
  1. MPs (as today)
  2. PM
  3. Telecom Minister
  4. Electricity Minister
  5. Supreme Court Chief judge, 4 senior most Supreme Court judges
  6. RBI Chief
  7. National Land Rent Officer
         Total – 11 positions
Direct elections at State Level
  1. MLAs (as today)
  2. CM
  3. Electricity Minister
  4. State Land Rent Officer
  5. State Police Chief, , 4 members of State Police Boards
  6. Chief State Public Prosecutor, 4 senior most State prosecutors
  7. Chief High Court Judge, 4 senior most High Court judges
         Total – 19 positions
Direct elections at District Level
  1. District Panchayat Members (as today)
  2. Mayor
  3. District Education Officer
  4. Chief District Public Prosecutor, 4 senior most District prosecutors
  5. Chief District Judge , 4 senior most District prosecutors
  6. District Police Chief, 4 members of District Police Boards
         Total – 18 positions
         IOW, gradually, with explicit approvals of 50% of citizens, MRCM party would opt for system where in about 8 positions at National level, about 18 positions as State Level and about 18 positions at District Level and about 40-50 positions altogether will be filled by elections. In addition, citizens will have procedure to replace them. The terms will be 4 years exact. Overall, the system would need 2 polls a year, with one poll deciding fate of about 5-6 positions. We support paper ballot only, and oppose electronic ballot. The cost of poll as of now, Jul-2008, is Rs 10 per poll per voter, and can be brought down to Rs 5 per poll per voter. Much of the expenses is in policing and that would decrease as power attached with each position decreases and courts improve. That apart, by adding bar code with voter-ID and other means, cost can be brought down to Rs 3 per voter. Over all, the system of having 45 to 50 elected officials with 4 year term would cost about Rs 150 per person every 4 years or about Rs 40 person per year and reducing favoritism and nepotism to near zero.
         The election in constituency larger than 100,000 kills nepotism, favoritism as well as nexuses. No one can have even 1000 relatives or nexuses with 1000 people, and so it is clear that effect of nepotism will be less than 1%. Further, when constituency is above 10,00,000 voters, no caste will have majority and if a caste is even as large as 25%, it breaks down into many sub-castes. And so in constituency larger than 10,00,000 voters, casteism also becomes a minor factor. Hence election is superior than existing procedure of appointments.



3.    National ID system


         The National-ID system is useful to log details of common citizens as well as govt officers good and bad actions. The details of the Govt Order needed to create National-ID system is here.



4.    Publishing wealth disclosures of Govt Employees


         Every Govt officers (including judges) and his spouse, kids would be required to file disclosures of the wealth they have and the wealth of their trusts and companies they own. This will enable citizens to decide whether they should be supported or not. In addition, every Govt officer would be required to give a list of all his close relatives who are serving in Govt. This can be used by citizens to get an idea about the nepotism in the administration.



5.    Other party’s and intellectuals stand on reducing nepotism , filing disclosures


         The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals have opposed canceling interviews. They insist that interviews must be taken. And most party’s leaders have opposed disclosure of assets owned by Govt officers, judges, Ministers etc. And almost all of them oppose broad based election of 35-50 officials at District, State and National levels. If citizens are directly electing/replacing District Police Chief, this reduces the incomes of CM who appoint/transfer them. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on what they intend to do on issue of strengthening the Military and decide if they are worth voting for. And we also request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following.
