14 Ishrat Husain and poor governance stems from this interference. It must be recognized that in democratic forms of governance, elected leaders will have to respond to their political constituents and the associated vested interests. The accountability for results rests largely on these politicians and not on the civil servants. If the interference of the politicians is aimed at serving the narrow parochial interests of a few individuals or groups rather than the broader collective interests of their constituencies, they may end up paying a heavy price at the time of the next elections. Their opponents, the opposition parties and the media scrutiny will keep a watch on their actions and expose them before their constituents. The alignment of the civil servants with their political bosses in violating or circumventing laid down laws, rules, regulations and procedures would prove to be myopic as these civil servants will also become tainted and suffer in their career advancement. If the successive civil servants appointed to key positions refuse to carry out illegal, unlawful or irregular orders, how many times can a minster get them transferred or how many of them could be appointed as OSDs? The strong temptation to indulge in immediate gratification by keeping the political bosses happy and either ignore or go along with them is indeed the crux of the problem. The long term consequences of succumbing to such temptations should always be kept in mind by this category of civil servants. There is no substitute for personal integrity and character in public service. However, to expect that we will be able to induct angels in the civil services is also unrealistic. The thrust of the proposed reforms is to limit the discretionary powers of the decision makers, simplify the cumbersome procedures and processes and make them transparent and realign the incentives of the individual civil servants with those of the organization. It is proposed, therefore, that the Commission should remain as a permanent body responsible for changed management in the government, but limit the term of the office of the Chairman and members to two years only.
