Corruption in constitutional bodies?

It refers to Goa Chief Minister manohar Parrikar having rightly raised a very valid point about possibilities corruption in constitutional bodies which are practically out of bounds from normal scrutiny. His direct reference was towards hefty conveyance-bill of rupees 16.86 crores sent by State election Office despite state-government having provided sufficient number of vehicles for poll-duty during elections to state-assemblies held in February 2017.

Absolute power makes absolute corrupt. In case presently there does not exist any system for audit of expenses in constitutional bodies, then a system must be formulated to audit all constitutional bodies where there is usually high level of corruption at least on expenses-side. There should be adequate and proper checks and balances for constitutional bodies which have huge budgets and employees requiring a proper check against corruption.
