Minister's surprise visit
An article on the example of direct approach by a minister was published in the pages of a local English daily on 6th. April. It was a unique, interesting and quite relevant step, for improving our system of governance. Its practice will prevent corruption-- our biggest evil, and help resolve problems in a more direct and effective manner, without the protective walls of bureaucracy! It could be tried out as an effective way to remedy the various wrongs in our bureaucracy.
The honourable education minister's unannounced visit to BRTA was indeed a very realistic approach to tighten up office performance. I am sure that the few hours he spent in the office, has enabled him to learn more about the 'happenings' in BRTA.
He could never have got such feedback, in months of meetings and innumerable number of memos as practiced by the bureaucracy!
This is an excellent and novel approach from the minister, and I congratulate him for his initiative. I believe if this practice is followed by all our ministers, including the honourable prime minister, the effectiveness of the government will increase substantially and people will regain their faith in the government.
We should introduce this practice of random visit by the ministers, to their various departments, at least once every month.
The results will be unbelievable, and the government will reap the full benefit of it in the next general election!
