Anti-corruption Test part 3


[21]  Any state Govt CM or FM can create problems for Lokayukta by simply squeezing the supply of funds to the office. Thus Lokaykta is easily circumvented.
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[22]  Any state Govt CM or FM can subvert Lokayukta by simply nominating insiders of a particular party to apply for position of staff of Lokayukta. Thus by compromised employees, Lokaykta is easily circumvented.
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[23]  Future politicians can plan ahead of time and work for Lokpal or Lokayukta offices for some time before elections, and then stand for elections. Thus they will have public faith and then they can use contacts inside Lokpal to protect themselves from investigation
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[24]  Senior members of Lokpal/Lokayukta having served many years in that office can use his contacts to protect sympathetic MPs/MLAs from corruption investigation
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[25]  If Lokpal / Lokayukta orders arrest of certain MP / MLA, and if Police Chief or CBI official refuses to follow orders citing some other rules or lack of legal power then Lokpal can do nothing further.
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[26]  Lokpal is really powerless since actual punishment is given by courts. So if courts say that they are processing bigger cases or are busy, as they always take years to take up a case, Lokpal can only wait and do nothing effective.
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False


[27]  Even if Lokpal does indict and punish a corrupt politician, all the money he has already transferred to purchase properties and accounts is lost to the nation. So Lokpal will only prevent further corruption. Money already lost is gone.
(True or False. Give reasons why you think so. )
[a]  True
[b]  False
