New Delhi, May 22 (IANS) Declaring that those guilty of corruption will be punished, the annual report of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Sunday said that the government will take “steps to prevent such developments in future”.
“We will punish those who are guilty through the due process of law. We will also take steps to prevent such developments in the future,” said the foreword of the report presented by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the second anniversary function of the UPA-II government here.
“We have initiated a number of measures to bring about systemic changes that would help in improving governance and curbing corruption, and we hope to see quick results of these efforts,” the report added.
“Many of these issues (scandals) have surfaced because of our system of institutional oversight and a free press and to that extent, reflect the strength of the system”.
“The year 2010 saw the conjunction of several developments related to the 2G spectrum, procurement and contracting issues related to the Commonwealth Games, and similar issues in the state governments,” the report said.
