Posted on October 15, 2011

 

With the uncovering of various scams and scandals and the anti-corruption crusade taking centre stage, corruption has been in the limelight. Amidst this rising citizen fervour against corruption, an integral question is how do we effectively sustain and channelize the anger and frustration felt by one and all into a concrete action against corruption. Talking of action, citizens have strongly expressed the need to have an instant bribe reporting mechanism, a system that helps uncover corruption when on the move.

To meet with the increasing public demand for instant reporting, ipaidabribe.com,in its endeavour to provide citizens with a platform to share their experiences with the corrupt system, has now launched its Mobile Channel. With just a message away, you can now report bribes as and when you meet a corrupt official.

By accumulating reports from thousands of people who have had to interface with the corrupt, we stand the chance of uniting everyone in this movement against corruption. Your stories can also help reveal the behavioural trends of bribe takers, and patterns of corruption in government offices, and thereby act as a catalyst in bringing about a systemic change.
