Meghalaya CM assures to carry out exercise for appointment of Lokayukta

Email :47

Shillong, Mar 24: Chief Minister, Conrad K. Sangma said that the whole exercise related to appointment of Lokayukta would be done.

The Chief Minister made this assurance one day after the Supreme Court on Friday directed chief secretaries of 11 states to explain in two weeks why they have not appointed Lokayukta and Uplokayukta, despite enactment of Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.

“A high powered committee was selected along with the Chairman. But when the appointment was about to be given, elections came and the process could not be completed. So now we are going to do it,” a statement issued by the Communication Cell of the Chief Minister’s office said on Saturday.

“Now that the new government is formed, we will call a meeting again and all procedures are already in place. The selection committee and the high powered committee are there with the Chief Justice, Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition and the Speaker, and this committee will sit very soon and we will start the process. Because the Chairman of the first committee refused to accept the post, all the effort were in vain. So now the whole exercise will be done again,” the statement said.
