AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

“Environment ministry to eject double agents:” – HT Times 17th June 2009
It is good to see an intiative has been taken towards good governance in one of the ministry. Our congratulations to the Hon’ble Minister for taking such an initiative of transparent working in his area of influence.
The government as well PSU service rules are very clearly defined issues like “conflict of interests” and “cool off period” and suggest not to take any pecuniary avantages from clients or private sector employment immediately after their retirement but are being coveniently overlooked in many cases.
Many of the ExCMD/ Directors/Scientists/ Government officers at the highest levels have joined either their clients or private sectors immediately after retirement or holding parallel offices. The initiatives taken by one ministry should be emulated by other ministries, so that an example are set for good governance in the country and those holding similar posts should either resign immediately or sacked or removed.
