Meghalaya Lokayukta Bill passed

December 14, 2012 15:56

The Meghalaya Lokayukta Bill, 2012 was today passed in the assembly, repealing an act passed ten years ago, amidst opposition from legislators.

The new act covered the chief minister, governor and all public servants, but allowed the state government through a clause to exclude complaints by citing public interest.

Stating that the short timing of the session would not allow a threadbare discussion on the act and its contents, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma proposed that it be passed since sub-rules (c) of Rule 72 of the Rules of procedures and conduct of business was suspended, which allowed him to move a motion to pass the bill.
