Ethics in Governance-A Study of the Moily Committee Report
1 Ethics in governance-A study of the moily committee report Governance and ethics are intertwined. A government functions within certain broad moral and ethical parameters, integrally linked with the sociological foundation of the polity in which it is articulated. The importance of ethics in governance has acquired a significant place in contemporary theoretical discussion more so because of the growing decadence in governmental practices largely owing to a decline of ethical values in public administration which is perhaps singularly responsible for the rise of corruption in a virulent form. The possible reason is located in the overgrowth of the state in which bureaucracy has become rent-seeker, ignoring its Benthamite role of being a benevolent guardian. The World Bank-sponsored solution is to downsize the state and allow free play of the market and civil society-consolidating the ideology of neo-liberalism. Whether this is an appropriate strategy for the developing and also underdeveloped nation is a challenging question that needs to be addressed underlining the importance of public in public administration. This is a challenge that involves a thorough analysis of the circumstances arid also the outcome in a historical context because dwindling of ethics in governance is not an over-night phenomenon, but an offshoot of a long-term process.
