The citizens have a right to get their lawful work done by the public servants. The citizens and the Bureau can exchange views and interact in a meaningful way to build up a bull work to check corruption and pave the way for building a prosperous state. The information from the citizens on the corrupt public servants is a ladder to the development of the nation.

సారపు ధర్మమున్ విమల సత్యము పాపము చేత బొంకుచే

పారము బొందలేక చెడబారినదైన యవస్థ దక్షులె

వ్వారలుపేక్ష జేసిరది వారల చేటగు కాని ధర్మని

స్తారకమయ్యు సత్యశుభదాయకమయ్యును దైవముండేడున్

--మహాభారతం

(సారమైన ధర్మం పాపం చేతా, విమలమైన సత్యం అబద్దం చేతా మనలేని దుస్స్థితిలో ఉన్నప్పుడు.. సమర్థులైన వారు చూస్తూ ఊరుకొంటే అది వారికే నష్టం కానీ వాటిని రక్షించడానికి దైవంఎల్లప్పుడూఉంటాడు.)
