ACCOUNTABILITY & CORRUPTION

- Both are inversely proportional.

- Power + Discretion—Accountability = Corruption (ARC-II)

Examples:

1] Secrecy in the bureaucracy makes it more powerful. It becomes the basis for corruption. (“Corruption thrives in secret places and avoids open places”. Woodrow Wilson.)

2] Discretionary powers with civil servants to use the resources available with administration become the basis for corruption.
