Inefficient to deal with inefficiency

There are many ways that government can save its money so that it can spend on development. Reducing expenditures is the best way to save. One of the major expenditures is going to be the food security scheme, since we have many suffering under poverty conditions; we have to go for this. But there will be a limit as our grain reserves have an end; we will not be able to provide for them. And we will have to find some other social security scheme. The expenditure like keeping a large inefficient bureaucracy is the main reason that our government fails. We have to pay for  accommodation(or reimburse rent bills), for their dearness allowance, for transport allowance, for newspaper / periodical allowance, for  electricity for conditioners, for computers(which are not used) etc..big list of needs. One of the ways to can reduce the burden is to send these inefficient government officers away on early retirement, as they only sit idly while wasting government’s resources. Not only that, they have a casual attitude towards work and create much inefficiency. Most harmful aspect of hiring government officers is that they are corrupt and they destroy the environment for progress. By taking bribe for allocating resources, for making clearances and for government’s procurement they nullify effective policies. By greater computerization and better ways to carry on government’s activities, we can reduce the role of the government officers. Many offices have adopted automation of office procedures, and have introduced greater efficiency in their respective organisations. Government’s procurement can be done transparently by introducing “e-procurement” or “e-tendering” where the process of auction can be done electronically. Here too government officers call those firms which have bribed them even while procuring computers for “e-tendering”; there will be a hidden bribe somewhere in the process. How to catch them? These organisations encourage bribes while proclaiming to end bribes. There was only one hope that introduction of computers would end bribes, encourage transparency. And now that hope is gone too. Unless we get rid of the corrupt incompetent officers, there is no possibility of growth or development of the nation. .
