IN PRACTICE
In other countries
One of the main work of the ombudsman is to
remove inefficiency in the delivery of public
service. That is the bureaucrat is correct and
has every right to impose the unreasonable
and unnecessary documentation and
procedures but if the documentations and
procedures have little or no benefits or it
makes the delivery of public service
inefficient, the ombudsman could action
based on complaints or on its own initiatives
Impact of Action
Publicity and damaged reputation of the
bureaucrat and office is more important than
large fines and penalties
Publicity is made to deter other bureaucrats from
making similar unnecessary requirements
Suspension and fines may be imposed but
normally it is very light from one day to one week
suspension or forfeiture of one to two days of
salary
improper, or inefficient.
