Go transparent move by Kerala Congress

Call it the power of the Internet or what – Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy has announced that all the proceedings in his chambers and office will be Webcast live. The Oommen Chandy government has decided to make transparency the highlight motto in their action plan for the first 100 days. Any whistle-blower will be treated with respect and pampered with rewards. Whatever be the agenda behind this move, it is a good initiative that will sharpen the public delivery system, and will hold people accountable. The most laudable aspect is citizens can also demand a periodic report card on the effectiveness of the transparency drive. At ipaidabribe.com, transparency is our mission. We hope that with the lakhs of bribe reports that we collect, we can make this happen.
