Major decisions, meetings, and financial transactions related to government work would be automatically uploaded and accessible for citizens to review.
Why it works: Constant public oversight discourages officials from engaging in shady activities.
Safety Considerations: Sensitive information such as national security issues would be excluded from public access but audited by a trusted independent body.

2. Digital Financial Transparency for Elected Officials
Concept: Require elected officials to maintain publicly accessible digital bank accounts for all their government-related expenses and income. Any attempt to use personal accounts for government transactions would be flagged by a financial watchdog and investigated immediately.
Why it works: Ensures that officials can only spend within the allocated public budget and makes misuse of funds easily detectable.
Safety Considerations: Privacy protection for officials' personal finances would still be maintained as only government-related accounts are monitored.

3. Automated and Randomized Audits by AI

Concept: Deploy advanced AI systems to monitor government officials’ actions and expenditures. The AI would flag any irregularities, automatically trigger audits, and assign random audits at intervals to prevent officials from predicting when they might be checked.
Why it works: Reduces human bias or corruption in auditing and ensures constant, unpredictable oversight of government activities.
Safety Considerations: Safeguards would ensure that AI is used responsibly and audits are conducted transparently, with clear, fair procedures.

4. Mandatory Asset Disclosure and Monitoring
Concept: Before taking office, officials must disclose all assets, including properties, shares, and businesses owned by them and their immediate family members. A permanent monitoring system would track changes in their assets during and after their term, ensuring no unusual accumulation of wealth occurs.
Why it works: Prevents officials from using their positions to enrich themselves or hide illicit gains.
Safety Considerations: Protect privacy by limiting the level of public disclosure but ensuring strict independent oversight by trusted bodies like anti-corruption commissions.

5. Fixed Salaries with No Extra Benefits or Allowances
Concept: Set a fixed salary for all elected officials, with no allowances, benefits, or discretionary budgets. Any request for additional funds would need to be approved through an independent, public voting system by an oversight committee.
Why it works: Reduces the temptation for officials to misuse or embezzle public funds by limiting financial perks.
Safety Considerations: Ensure that officials are still fairly compensated so they are not motivated to seek illicit income elsewhere.

6. Public Integrity Council with Citizen Representation

Concept: Require all food vendors and retailers to issue digital invoices for every sale, including the price at which they purchased the goods and the price at which they are selling them. These invoices would be submitted to a government portal where officials could monitor price margins. If any vendor is found significantly overcharging, they would be fined or penalized.
Why it works: Prevents vendors from raising prices without a valid reason, as the government can see the exact cost of the goods from their source.
Accountability: A digital system reduces the chance of manipulation, with heavy penalties for vendors who attempt to cheat the system.

8. National Price Control Board for Essential Goods
Concept: Establish a National Price Control Board (NPCB) that monitors and sets maximum allowable prices for essential goods like rice, vegetables, and cooking oil. Vendors would be required to sell goods at or below the NPCB-regulated prices, and any violations would result in immediate sanctions.
Why it works: Centralizes price control, ensuring that no vendor or businessman can raise prices beyond what is reasonable based on supply and demand.
Accountability: The NPCB would constantly assess market conditions, adjusting prices where necessary and publishing price ceilings for public transparency.

9. Incentivizing Farmers to Sell Directly to Consumers
Concept: Provide financial incentives and logistical support (e.g., transportation subsidies) to farmers to sell directly to consumers through government-sponsored farmer's markets or digital platforms. This would allow farmers to receive fair prices for their produce while cutting out middlemen who inflate prices.
Why it works: Helps farmers earn more and ensures consumers pay less by eliminating intermediaries.
Accountability: Farmers and consumers could both be registered in a government database, ensuring that only certified farmers are participating and that prices remain fair.

10. Introduce a Food Subsidy for Low-Income Households
Concept: Implement a direct food subsidy program for low-income families. Families would receive digital vouchers (via mobile apps) that could be used at government-approved vendors and stores to purchase food at subsidized rates. This would help control food inflation's impact on the most vulnerable sections of society.
Why it works: Direct subsidies make food more affordable for low-income families while ensuring vendors still receive fair market prices.
Accountability: Digital tracking of voucher usage would prevent fraud, and vendors participating in the program would be subject to strict price controls.

11. Tax Breaks for Vendors Who Maintain Stable Prices
Concept: Offer tax breaks or reductions in licensing fees for vendors who maintain stable prices for essential goods over a set period. The government would regularly audit vendors to ensure compliance, rewarding those who avoid price gouging.
Why it works: Creates a financial incentive for vendors to keep prices low while still allowing them to make a reasonable profit.
Accountability: Government audits would ensure that only vendors who truly keep prices stable receive the benefit.

12. Establish National Agricultural Zones with Fixed Output Quotas
Concept: Create government-run agricultural zones focused on mass production of essential food items (e.g., rice, wheat, vegetables). Each zone would have fixed output quotas, and the produce would be sold directly to government-regulated markets at controlled prices. This reduces dependency on private farming for essential food supplies.
Why it works: Guarantees a stable supply of essential goods at consistent prices, insulating the market from private sector price manipulation.
Accountability: Output quotas would be monitored by a national agricultural board, ensuring that production levels are met without unnecessary price increases.
