Murthy joins Basu in legalizing paying a bribe

Narayan Murthy, former chairman Infosys


Mr. Murthy has joined Cheif economic advisor to Govt of India Mr. Kaushik Basu in the opinion that 'paying' bribe be made legal. Only the 'paying' will be legal if the draft proposal clears through where as taking bribe will remain as crime. Currently as per our law both giving bribe and taking bribe both are illegal and both parties are punishable if proven. This has almost preempted the briber (the payer) from cooperating with investigation or going with a complaint to the police.

I am of the opinion that this is a brilliant step which we should have taken long back. Here the payer of bribe should be counted as victim (at least at the grass root level where corruption is like population of India!) and punishing the payer is victimising the victim. Already we have such laws in case of prostitution where in the women involved are considered victim even if the act was as per her consent, where as soliciting prostitution and pimping is criminal. The idea is that the prostitute is victim and punishing her is victimising the victim.

of course corruption at higher levels should be classified as different categroy atleast based on circumstances in which the bribe was given.
Though this may not turn the tide against corruption at least legally it will be justitfied.

    ya....its justified....
    when we are forced to pay bribe in order to get the work done, lets not punish us at the end. We are the sufferers who has to pay bribe to get many important/urgent work done. Later we should be having the right to complaint abt such ppl about corruption.

    Ofcourse that is, but the problem remains misuse, especially at the top end. It is unlikely to be welcomed by the babus, who will defenitely oppose it to the teeth.
    It will become a tight rope for the babus who will have the saliva running their collars, but cannot take the bribe as after getting the work done the briber can complaint to the police and get him/her prosecuted.
    One needs a strong will to pass such acts which sadly is lacking in its entirity from the public and the government.
