The practice of paying illegal commissions, which is seen across many government departments, needs to be stopped if there is to be any sense of order in public life. Ending this will not be easy, as the problem appears to have spread deep into both political and administrative systems. However, meaningful change is still possible if those in authority show the will to act.
This practice has existed for many years, but in recent times it seems to have become more open and frequent, with little visible action from higher authorities. This has raised serious concerns about accountability and oversight.
Taking strict action only after tragedy strikes serves little purpose. When lives and property have already been lost, such responses come too late. Preventive measures and timely enforcement are far more important to avoid such irreversible losses.
