Municipal Corporations – Root Causes 1. Municipal employees have been used to the same old way of working for a long time 2. There is no biometric or regular attendance system 3. The corporation is not computerized and still resorts to the old mechanism of working 4. Workers are lazy and try to shrug away from their responsibilities 5. There is no pressure of performance on the employees 6. Employees are never subjected to performance reviews 7. Field workers have a physically enduring job and most of the workers and not physically fit 8. Senior employees have a lot of authority, which they use in negative ways like asking for bribes 9. Workers are very sure about their job security and hence are not bothered about how they perform 10. They want to be felt important and hence don’t give out information till someone asks repeatedly 11. The drainage systems were designed decades back and are prone to breakdown 12. People who are supposed to keep the city clean stay in a filthy condition and have no knowledge of cleanliness themselves 13. There are workers who are dutiful but they are not allowed to work by the other majority 14. Intra department coordination is lacking 15. Workers don’t have the latest work/safety equipment and hence are not efficient in their work 16. The solutions delivered through PPP (Public Private Partnership) route are riddled with ill design, ill conceived, ill executed contracts which provides more opportunities for non performance and corruption.
