CONFESSION OF AN HONEST EMPLOYEE IN INDIA

Here at our office corruption is like an organized crime. Everybody is involved. Your involvement depends on your degree of participation, I said this because most of us believe on the saying if you cant beat them join them especially if you are assigned at the finance and accounting division. All sorts of harassment are thrown to you once they perceived you are anti-player or a hindrance to their modus operandi. For sure accountants in the government are suffering from all kinds of intimidations, harassment etc. They cant discharged their functions 100% clean and honest. Here at our office, the root of all these corrupt practices is the property custodian. I said this beside of his main function of accepting all deliveries, he creates transactions, he canvass, he prepares documents, he even deliver checks directly to suppliers in short, there is poor internal control which management is tolerating, this particular person is well protected by higher ups. He is their bagman so anybody who goes against his actions will surely be harass and even be remove immediately from his present assignment. We accountants are relegated to a mere glorified clerks. Nothing we can do. If they don't want you they just replace you by another one. You might be wondering what happen to the other committees where a certain disbursement voucher or transaction passes like bids and awards, inspection committee, cashier, budget officer well they too are controlled and intimidated. How many ways to kill a cat as they always say. Anyway just to give you an idea how corruption is being committed. Here at the accounting section a voucher is being presented for the 1st time already complete of documents meaning it was already presented for payment, the normal of processing a voucher was shortcutted. Ask bids and awards who incidentally compose of division chiefs were reduced to mere stamp pads. They just signed on the abstract without performing their supposed duties and responsibilities as members of this committee. As to the commission of audit like them, they are bribe and bought by giving in to their request and favors.

Mumbai International Airport Immigration Office
Mumbai International Airport Immigration

Some one I know (indian national) flew in from canada and his baggage was delayed by the airline. He had photocopies pertaining to his old passport in his bagagge which he asked for. He was illegally detained all night at the immigration office at the Mumbai international airport. He was not allowed to call his relatives who were waiting outside and desparately trying to get some information about his arrival status. Finally after making several calls they managed to speak with an officer who refused to let them talk to the boy and instead kept the phone on hold for 20 minutes after which the relatives were told that the boy was resting and would be released in the morning. He was released in the morning at 9 am with no charges, no paper work but not before the officer took 150 dollars of the 300 dollars (the only money he had with him). The boy was too shocked to protest or react and the family was just relieved to have him back they did not want to complain. He did not offer bribe but the officer took the money away. Corruption in Uniform. The tourism ministry should first put its house in order before inviting guests to the country and this was one's own citizen.
