Seems that the government is thinking of outsiders monitoring performance of the kleptocrats. Apparently with evaluations being done by insiders the reports are always highly congratulatory and recommendations for promotions are always positive. It is hoped that an outside person will do a better job of evaluating the work and commitment of a sarkari fellow and provide an authentic report. It is not mentioned what will happen if a fellow is found to be a thief which most of them are anyway. Will the fellow be sacked? Will his pension be terminated? Will the report be made public? If not it will be a waste of public money as most government projects are. Most likely a friendly person will be chosen to do the assessment and if the report is indeed adverse it will be suppressed. The Prevention of Corruption Act prevents the prosecution of a kleptocrat without the permission of the politician in charge and since the said politician will be sharing in the loot there is hardly any possibility of criminal charges. If criminal charges are indeed filed it will take decades for the case to go through the courts, as in the case of Mr. Sukhram, and the person will have died of old age. Most kleptocrats are suspended and when the heat has died off they allowed to rejoin and paid all accumulated salary and allowances. Maybe it will fool some people.
