Reducing Corruption: Transaction Governance Capacity
The Andhra Pradesh e-Governance Story
Corruption becomes a major impairment here in the Philippines. In reality, many Filipino suffers from poverty and one of the possible reasons is no other than corruption. Does the question what projects does the government apply to lessen corruption is really the subject instead how can I as part of the community contribute to lessen to corruption is the real issue.
The case shows one particular system in India, wherein they used this Eseva system to improve the Government process that includes the quality of service, its effectiveness and efficiency in terms of serving the people. Implementing this automated system and internet based system is a major step to them. It is an immense change in that country, to how to adapt this kind of system. Their objective is to lessen the corruption and if possible to eliminate it, and to make the process of getting different forms is to make it faster.
Implementing this kind of system to the Philippines? For me yes it is possible. However there are some points we need to discuss about it. First are the people, is the people have this full support to this change and have the trust that the government will need in implementing this kind of system. Second is the government, thus the government will implement this system to the betterment of everyone and use this system not in their own benefit. For example, Marikina City, the people there are well organize in terms especially in the rules and regulation. The people there follow. When a new policy or processes in the government the people are adaptive to change.
“The only constant thing in this world is change…”
Nowadays technologies become part of our day-to-day activities. Wherever we go we use technology. In reality, this technologies makes our life easier, it makes process faster, reliable, secured, etc. its advantageous. The only thing we can do is to adapt. The system that is used in India is possible if we believe that it is possible, and we as Filipino will use it in a fastidious way. To improve our economy we need equality, to improve or economy we need trust, to improve economy we need perseverance, and lastly to improve our economy we need CHANGE.
