Inspectors are not working!
As the head of a family, it is a matter of concern to note that the inspectors and monitors in the public services in the different government departments and agencies are not working diligently and honesty, judging from the institutionalised corrupt practices prevailing in the society, and the almost complete absence of news on their activities in the mass media. They can catch neither the big fish nor the small fries, although the society is floating on 'oiling', and the country is floating on gas!
The cabinet is aware of it, hence the government may be pleased to announce some stringent measures against the defaulters. Disciplinary action is not being taken or is delayed due to alleged political interference and cover. The service rules may be reviewed to introduce some clauses fixing allowances proportionate to the number of cases convicted. Similar is the case of neglect in operation and maintenance (viz. the factories and the utility services in the public sector).
There is too much politics all around, with too little political output. The inputs are impure, as these are not sorted out properly, while the internal processing is dubious. The question is how to rule the country?
