Vijaya Karnataka has published today the "rates" for transfers of various categories of government officials. The rates are clearly directly proportional to "income".
Assistant Commissioner of Police: Rs 9 lakh
Deputy director of a department: Rs 8 lakh
Sub-inspector: Rs 5 lakh
Tahsildars: Rs 5 lakh
Forest officers: Rs 2-5 lakh
Doctors: Rs 2 lakh
Nurses: Rs 40,000
Teachers: Rs 25,000
There are only three points to be made to a list like this: 1) Since the media is reporting this, the actual rates must be even higher, 2) This is further proof that the Lok Ayukta drive is a major charade to keep the middleclasses happy, and 3) It says a lot for our society and its priorities that a profession like teaching is the bottom of the scale.

Do you know i have heard some legislators saying ( in private) even lokayukata also is corrupt and the whole thing is a sham. Difficult to believe but knowing the indian system anything is possible
For all the brave talks our Chief Minister Kumaraswamy will not be able to do anything. His father Deve Gowda is asuuming the pre-eminent position and has already overruled Kuamaraswamy and said there will not be any truck with BJP OF any alliance w for the Council and lokal body polls. Things are back to square one. At this rate it is very likely after Kumaraswamy’s 20 months stint (if the govt lasts long) DeveGowda will ask Kumaraswamy to pull the rug under the feet of BJP.
This list also indicates that the level of corruption (‘income’ jaasti andre lancha jaasti) decreases with the rate.
So going by that, teachers being at the bottom of this list means they are the least corrupt, so it is not so bad. Of course, one can argue that teachers/doctors/nurses should not be on this list at all but they are also part of the same society.
Lok Ayukta can only be as effective as we want it to be. By itself no system is incorruptible. Without proper checks and balances and a proper watchdog this is hardly surprising.

Please send your comments in English. Don’t be under the impression that only Kannada knowing people read Churumuri. Many non-Kannadigas read it in New Delhi…………. They can’t enjoy some hilarious comments……..
This is a true story…
Have a friend who is with the BCC (B’lore City Corporation). He got the job because his father died while in service with the PWD.
The father was so honest that he spent his entire working life posted into Bidar, Gulbarga and other hot places. People were afraid that he would “break the link” in the corruption chain (everyone from the peon to the Chief Engineer is on the take).
So my friend uses some influence and gets alloted to PWD Bangalore. The Chief Engineer is very nervous (“yenappa what if this chap is like his father?”). So my friend goes and meets him and tells him “Sir I am nothing like my father”.. chief engineer is happy that my buddy is a “team player”.
20 years have passed since this incident… my friend has been on “temporary secondment” to BCC since then. The Lok Ayuktas have come as have Jayakar Jeromes, Ravindras etc etc… he is still a committed team player. Doing well for himself.
Of course he wont take any “duddu” from classmates. We however have to pay the other “links” in the chain.
This is not enough catching some person under corruption make a big news in crime story , news paper etc… but it is more important that it should be made clear to public munde… yenu ayithu? (what happened next) lokayukta brashtano eno sadhyakke avaru madutha iro kelasa chennagide let encourage it instead of doubting him. Ella anumana aadare jeeevana thumba kashta aaguthe
MGP had published a similar table few years back. It had no impact even in Mysore. Will this latest list by Vijay Karnataka have any ripple effect? By this time every one knows the main reason for most politicians to enter politics is not to serve “Janardhan”, but to serve themselves. I am surprised to read the comment on Lok Ayukta as charade. Thanks to that institution there is some fear. Can one suggest what can be done to replace Lok Ayukta? Blame lies squarely at the top even if the corrupt system was inherited by the CM. Look at what he did to the commissioner of MUDA when he pointed out the root cause for corruption.
MUDA commisioner protocol break maadidhru..( Thats not acceptable)

just 9 lakh?! you must be kidding me. Engineering seats used to be(are?) costlier than that.
Let me tell a known FACT .
An area Inspector makes minimum 1 lakh per month ( with no cases in a month ) in a district headquarters .
if there was any smuggling load / Liquor shop/ Bar violating norms etc
get them minimum 50 thousand on such cases .
I know couple of very close people who have made in crores .It is the people who graduate from SI -> ACP’s who make more money .Because couple of years ( yr 2000 ) back getting through SI recruitment was marketed at 27 Lakhs . so they have reap all that they paid .
But majority of the NON-CORRUPT are those higher officers who passed IPS and went onto become commisoners .There are some gentlemen who served/serving ( I donot want to take names )
