Customs Officers have to Pass Corruptibility Test
All Customs officers have to pass examinations and psychological tests. During the tests, not only the professional skills of the officers will be assessed, but their loyalty as well. An expert commission, including representatives of the trade unions, will sift out corrupted and incompetent customs officers and they will be dismissed immediately.
Honest and loyal officials will receive a bonus to their salaries. Thus they won't be conscience-stricken, as they will have legal additional income. Over 500 customs officers will be fired because they don't work efficiently.
The test includes 40 questions: 20 on general Customs and excise legislation and 20 specific questions related to the line of work of the department.
Indian Customs officers need not worry – this is happening in distant Bulgaria, where the tests have started yesterday.
