From Hindustan Times
Most likely, this
inventory of unresolved cases would only rise with time.
I am afraid the new
Lokpal legislation would result in a similar piling up of cases, may be even
more.
I wonder how we can fix
inadequate governance by more of the same governance. Its difficult to fix
governance, not just in India but anywhere because of the inherent problems of
incentives and ownership. So, I think, what we need is fewer layers of
government and not one more layer, which would be created by the new Lokpal.
Such a build up of
pending cases is absolutely natural given the limited capacity of any investigative organization and other debilitating constraints.
