Nregs, drought and wage distribution

Here is a article by Swaminathan Aiyer that talks of NREGS.

NREGS is definitely a good scheme. However I would like to understand.
- Who decides what work is to be done?
- Who decides whether work got completed in a proper fashion?
- Who decides if workers were ever paid and were paid the correct amount?

I think its the ruling party men decide what work needs to be done, how many actually work, who were paid and how much.

I think this scheme can lead to more unorganized work than organized work. Also it still emphasizes that middlemen and people with political connections who make more money than the needy.

I do a news article where out Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said "State governments are being encouraged to make wage payments under the programme through banks and post office accounts. Nearly 7.8 crore of such accounts have been opened. The growing practice of making use of the financial institutions for of wages is one means of reducing leakages and in often ensuring that wages are paid in accordance with prescribed schedule,"

If its really gets done that way .. then our PM deserves Kudos
