NIRJULI, Feb 3:<\/strong> NGO representatives, intellectuals, retired bureaucrats, professors, thinkers and student leaders participated in a consultative meeting on corruption, organised by the Movement for Unified Multifaceted Knowledge Interaction Network (MUMKIN) in the NERIST auditorium here on Saturday.
\nSpeaking against corruption, Dr Tara Taku said, “Every structure raised and property amassed by bureaucrats and public leaders should be properly scrutinized and recorded by vigilance teams.”
\nAsserting that “too many expectations are the root cause of corruption,” he said even the common man is a mode of corruption “because he corrupts the officers by bribing them.”
\nDr Nani Bath in his address said while the people of Arunachal talk of corruption, they seldom look for ways to check it.
\n“An engineer in our state dreams of becoming a politician after retirement, on the strength of the wealth he amassed through unfair means, and a teacher does businesses instead of concentrating on his profession. In fact, we fail to do our duties sincerely and realistically,” Dr Bath said.
\nHe said Lokayukta\/Lokpal should be established in the state, and that the RTI Act should be utilized properly.
\nDr Bath suggested streamlining the electoral process, registering properties, and campaigning against tax evasion.
\nAdvocate TT Tara dwelt on the legal procedures and laws to contain corruption. He lamented that despite being armed with numerous legal procedures, “our people get suppressed by power and money of the people in power.”
\nHe apprised the gathering of the recent case because of which the State Human Rights Commission has been established in Arunachal Pradesh. He also informed that he has filed a suit for establishing Lokayukta in the state.
\nProf Dr Tado Karlo suggested constituting working committees to organise anti-corruption campaigns.
\nSpeaking on the topic ‘One person, one profession’, Dr Karlo said, “Even creating poverty is a violation of human rights. As such, one person holding multiple posts and professions is a violation of human rights and a corrupt practice.”
\nEngineer Tomi Ete mourned that “the persons who are entrusted with the power to guide, help and serve the society are looting it.”
\nHe advised the gathering to fight corruption “physically and mentally.”
\n“We have to try to change the mindset of the society through positive campaigns and rope in the youth to make them understand about corruption,” he said.
\nMUMKIN chairman Tadar Nigler made a PowerPoint presentation on corruption.
\nAt the end of the meeting, committees were formed to carry out anti-corruption campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
