Warning corrupt government officials of stringent action, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said they are being paid decent salaries and should learn to live within their means.
"If government officials accept bribes, they will face stringent action. A few among them are bringing a bad name to the entire government machinery. They are being given decent salaries and should learn to live within their means,"he said.
He was addressing a gathering here after launching the automated intelligence building application software 'Suvega', powered by 'DIGIT DCR'.
DIGIT DCR is one of the components of DIGIT (Digital Infrastructure for Governance Impact and Transformation) platform developed by 'eGovernments Foundation',a Bengaluru based NGO, which drives urban transformation.
