Jokepal

So the final draft of the proposed Lokpal Bill has been exchanged between the government and the civil society representatives.
The government seems to have made a mockery of the proposed ombudsman. It has proposed that the office of Prime Minister, higher judiciary (both supreme court and high courts) and our respected members of Parliament be kept out of its purview. Making the proposed bill entirely redundant.
There is a need for a strong system of checks and balances. And this is not it. The demand for a strong Lokpal needs to continue if this nations needs to rid itself of the scourge of corruption. The system of control of money in a few hands needs to be ended. Now.
