THINKING OUT LOUD!

      I would rather have CCTVs installed in every corner of government offices to monitor performance of government employees. 

     Brains have been wasted just to produce ideas on how to scrutinize performance of government employees. Several systems presented, but nothing has really changed. Over and over again we're implementing systems that do not answer the real problem. I couldn't understand why policy-makers do not even realize this. 

      Why is it hard for the government to instill discipline to its employees? Where lies the problem? Is it lack of leadership? Or maybe, it is the lack of motivation among the public servants. But why? Big financial rewards are even granted for best performances. But is it the real deal?

     A lot of papers have been and will be wasted to document performances not even reflective of the reality, of the truth because the system itself is impossible, unfeasible to the point of becoming hindrance to one's daily work. We're supposed to be gearing towards a paperless society. Have mercy on our trees. 

     Policy-makers should not only stay in posh hotels, gather around roundtables, sitting on cushioned seats and brainstorm on the next impossible experiment they want to implement. It's just so sad that sometimes public servants are made experimental guinea pigs because the government does not really know how to motivate and discipline them. Sometimes, or more often, we need to see rather than think. To see the real situation and condition of every government institution, down to the lowest level. To experience what people down there are actually and truthfully doing. To realize that even if our brains can go as far as the ideal, we are still very far from it. To feel and understand what is really necessary for us to do.
