From:       XYZ, Press Reporter for Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) DE Area ABC.

Subject:    Polling at the Men's and Women's Polling Stations of DE Area, on 19th September 2015.

Introduction: The present report is in response to the directive of all the Election Commissioner's Office to me to provide the latest information regarding the conduct of elections for the National Assembly in my area. I visited the polling stations for men and women between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm for this purpose.

Report

Men's Polling Station: As I entered the polling station I found the polling staff honestly busy in identifying the voters before allowing them to cast their votes independently. Most of the voters were stamping the sign of the candidate of their choice easily and smoothly. Illiterate voters were sometimes a problem, but the polling staff helped them without influencing their choice. During my stay of two hours. three cases of unauthorised entry into the polling station were reported to the police. Army officers were found inspecting the polling stations to everyone's satisfaction. I stayed in the polling station for about three hours, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Women's Polling Station: Here I stayed for ab out two hours. I found the polling officers and staff waiting for the voters. By 3:00 pm, when I arrived there, the voting had become very light. I was informed that most of the voters, who were not so large in number, had cast their votes, between 9:00 am 2:30 pm. Quite a few women who had not brought their identity cards had been sent back. 

Conclusion: On the whole, I felt that the general publicwasnot much interested in voting. The law and order situation was quite satisfactory because of the alertness of the polling staff and the presence of the police and army personnel.

Suggestions: The Election Commission should take great care that no publicity for political parties and election candidates is permitted within the area of one kilometre of the polling station. Tents and structures of political parties close to polling stations should not be allowed.

Write a report to the Director General, Anti-corruption Department

Write a report to the Director General, Anti-corruption Department on corruption in government department.

To:                  The Director General, Anti-corruption Department, Lahore
From:              XYZ, President Social Welfare Society, FGH Colony, DSF.
Subject:           Corruption in Government Offices

Introduction:  Nowadays corruption in our society is a common practice among the officials and it is a common story on the lips of almost every citizen today. It is correctly said that those who invite and accept bribes in government departments have to offer bribes to others to have their own work done. Most government departments are saturated with corruption, that is, nepotism, favouritism, recommendation, bribery etc. 

Report: The present reporter has visited some government departments to arrive at the conclusion regarding corruption. The report is of general nature with the help of which the working of any department can be assessed. 

First, the lower staff including the clerks and peons looks for some kind of favour or bribe. It complains of its low salaries and, thus, justifies the money or bribes that it can get. When it comes to letting the applicant meet the controlling officer or giving him some relevant documents or helping him with the official procedure, it expects some bribe. Those who can afford to offer the bribe succeed in getting their work done while others withdraw in disappointment. 

Secondly, the higher officers have their own ways of accepting bribes. They usually get them at home are at a neutral place where no one can see or feel what is being done and for what purpose. The bribe is proportionate for the nature of the task. It can be in cash or kind, for example, in the shape of a briefcase full of currency notes or a diamond ring or an unregistered car or even expensive furniture or a TV or a laptop. 

Suggestions: The Anti-Corruption Department should be geared up to catch and punish all the involved corrupt servants. The reporter has provided some details of the corrupt ways and practices of these government employees. It will help the Anti-corruption Department to watch and start proceedings against the employees who have received bribes and enriched themselves beyond their means of income. 

Of special notice and importance surely the bribery recommendation, influential-ism, connections and approaches that also needs to checked with an iron hand. The process of accountability that has been going on in the higher government and judicial circles can take its roots in the Anti-corruption Department.
