Corruption Revelations Raise Questions Over Anti-Corruption Efforts and Government Accountability

The series of revelations has led to a situation where "action is taken, but not reform." This calls into question both the effectiveness of the anti-corruption drive and the internal discipline of the administration. The role of the people's representatives in all these developments is also a matter of debate. There is criticism that while elected representatives are supposed to keep a watch on the administration to solve the problems of the citizens, this is being ignored. As a result, officials and employees are behaving fearlessly and common citizens are suffering financially and psychologically.
