Do you think increasing employees salary would put an end to corruption, specially on the government sector? This was a move of our government and already are applied to some sectors but not all, yet...What you think...

It's very clear that it's not benefiting every one. others couldn't let go of their greed.

This approach will not work, corrupt people in Government already has lots of money yet they still steal. I'm sure the increase would only be a drop in the bucket compared to what they earn illegally and would only cost tax payers more. Greed is like a bottomless pit.

One should be paid a "living wage" and that should prevent corruption to an extent, but one needs rule of law to be enforced to punish the guilty too - siva

They complain of having a low salary, so they say they resolve to some illegal terms to add up their wages...and yes some are caught and are punished by law....I just hope increasing their wages would help to refrain them from bad things such as corruption...

Yes, it can help but not much. Some people are just simply spending beyond their limits and are insatiable. Once they have a higher salary they tend to increase their standard of living and sometimes go beyond their means.

Greed will always be there. If the government officials learn not to corrupt then I guess there governing cities or municipalities will follow.

Its difficult to root out corruption once it gets in.. even if some want to stop the others around will force them to do it.. its an viscous cycle.

i say it won't put an end to corruption because take the case of the military people. their salaries are always raised but still some policemen and military as well do commit crimes like ransom, kidnapping, and other crimes, and that disgusts me.

Well, I think its a good move but I do not think it will solve the issue on corruption. There is always the concept of wanting more. Considering that the people holding positions in the key areas are still the same people, then corruption will continue. I think the only way to stop corruption is to change from the bottom not only from the top. Our president cannot monitor everyone.

Yeah it really has to take a lot of digging..and some say "if you can't beat them, join them"...maybe this attributes to why digging more deeper to the root is non-achievable..just saying..

I think it wouldn't help at all. No matter how much you pay someone it will never, in their minds, be enough. People inherently always want more. It's just human nature. And few people will turn down moreā€”no matter where it comes from.
