STEP TOWARDS A CORRUPTION FREE PUBLIC SECTOR TRANSACTION CYCLE AND DOCUMENTED ECONOMY

The paper in your hand is the second in the series initiated on corruption. In this paper I would like to emphasize on few ways prevailed in the Public Sector which are favorable for corruption. The first thing is the acceptance of those Contractor(s)/Supplier(s)/Consultant(s) (hereafter referred as ‘Person(s)’) who are not even registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), the matter of good profile and expertise is out of question.
Due to non documentation of the Persons with the government does not only enhance the risk/probability of fake Persons in the transaction cycle bur also their untraceable records gives them protection against any possible anticorruption exercise.
As the work usually been awarded to the unregistered Person it is embedded tat he would not possess any Bank account in his company/business name to whom work has been granted/awarded so the payment is usually made via cash cheque or if in favor of the company then without crossing the banking instrument as well as this bearer cheque serve the purpose for culprits.
It has come to common observation that culprits adopt modern technologies at least before the authority charged with the responsibility of bring to light the corruption i.e. anticorruption cell like National Accountability Bureau. Many times it has been observed that fake agreement has been signed with the fake or unregistered Company or Person and incomplete invoices are being generated with the help of modern technology like Computer, Scanner and Color printer BUT cash is released in REAL.
