system of reward and punishment

How will be the world,If we have a system like the following :

If a citizen, tips off or reports a government official taking in bribes, and if the official is caught red-handed in that act, the official will be dismissed outright from his job and will be disqualified from applying for any government jobor public office anywhere in the country for the rest of his life and the citizen who gives the tip off or reporting(if willing and eligible) will be appointed for a govt job or placed first on the waiting list of qualifiers for a govt job and shall be appointed at the next available opening or vaccancy,according to his educational qualification or such person can nominate a deserving person of his choice(The same dismissal rule will be applicable to the citizen who qualifies through this reward window as well ). Top ten citizens  who give such tip offs,in every state, every year shall be nominated to the legislative assembly for a tenure of five years. So is the case with the Parliament; top ten citizens who give maximum tip-offs during every year shall be nominated to the Parliament for a tenure of 5 years. (The idea can be expanded to areas other than anti-corruption as well) 

If the system is made applicable to all positions in the govt, will corruption be eradicated or reduced to the minimum soon.

Will there be more justice in the society?

Will the govt machinery become cleaner and more corruption free?

Will the country become a better place to live?

Will good citizens be benefitted?

Will this teach people to learn to live a righteous life?

Yes, but our laws and (in fact on the strength money) lawyers comes in the way.  Law is based on presumptions that unless proved beyond reasonable doubt no one should held guilty.

Also we r yet to pass a bill to protect and reward "whistleblowers". Past experience shows that almost all the whistleblowers have been killed by the scamsters/miscreants.

"money and muscle power is prevailing in this country"

I am pasting an excerpts from an article posted by "Adv. K.C. Suresh, B.A., LL.M (Crimes), PGDHR (Human Rights)" in LCI article section on "

WHISTLE BLOWERS

A NATIONAL FORCE TO COMBAT CORRUPTION

"India was shocked by the murder of Satyendra Dubey, a government engineer who exposed corruption in the national highway building program. India was rocked by the murder of Shanmughan Manjunath, a manager at a state-owned oil company whose body was found riddled with bullets in the back seat of his car for his cause to fight against selling of impure gasoline. The death of  Dubey invited nationwide protest and demanded action. Hundreds of people are murdered every day all over India. What makes the death of Satyendra Dubey so very special? May be because of the unfulfilled of the dreams of a young IT engineer? Secondly It is because of the ideology he hold against corrupt practices in the country.

It is now well established that Dubey's letter to the Prime Minister giving details of the corruption in the Golden Quadrilateral highway project, was routinely circulated. This in spite of the writer's earnest request that his name should not be disclosed as he feared vengeful reaction from the people involved in the scam. As it happens, Dubey's courage was not foolhardy: he anticipated trouble and wrote a second letter, again requesting anonymity. That too was ignored. Whether the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) did this deliberately or just through the usual carelessness isn't established, but the net result was that the whistle-blower's name fell into the hands of the very people against whom the whistle was being blown. With what consequences we all know.

The callousness of the administration which was yet another factor doesn't end there. It ended finally in the killing of this young dynamic, energetic and honest Engineer. "
