World Bank - Lobbying the need for Whistleblower Act

HUSHANG 1196033621|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi All,

I am pretty sure everybody knows about this but India, especially the state of Maharashtra, is in the process of obtaining more loans from the World Bank. The state has initiated talks with the president of the World Bank to obtain loans for the MUTPII and III projects (mumbai) and for enhancing irrigation infrastructure in the state.

I am just throwing an idea here (even though the Supreme Court (SC) has already directed the Centre to establish a Whistleblower Act), but would it be beneficial for us to lobby with the World Bank the need for a Whistleblower Act (in India). With pressure from SC and World Bank I think that the development, implementation and enforcement of this Act would be hastened. If this is a good idea please let me know so that we as a group can make the lobbying effort more successful.

Dear Irani,
You are absolutely right for lobbying the need for Whistleblower Act. Now the time is fast changing and the people of modern era are more enlightened and more resouceful. We, the like minded can group together to make this as momentum a great success. But Whistleblower Act should has the powerful cutting teeth, not like the old lion with blinding eyes and losing teeth!
Thanks.

Many real life experiences to share but?

Hi Jaya, I am a govt. servant but I can't say whether I can share with like minded persons a lot of experiences of kicks and counter kicks for those indulging in corrupt practices. But here a point to be noted as to whether I can narrate those events as a govt. servant in this forum within the four walls of service rules. Please enlighten me providing me certain rulings on this. That's why I am a silent observer on this platform.
