Transparency and Fear of Action

There is increasingly a talk in India that as CBI and the public force the politician/bureaucrats about the legality of decisions taken by them, files will stop moving and no body will be bold enough to take a decision.I find this hard to believe, since common wisdom tells that if you are a honest officer and take straight forward decisions, no one can blame you. Only those people who sought favors or who did not want to oppose their higher ups for the wrong decisions they have taken, need to be afraid and need to fear. So all this talk by politicians about processes being stalled or the like is actually crocodile tears, just to get CBI out of their backs.
