Government to amend selection procedure for Lokpal
- 5 years ago
The Centre has appointed a panel headed by Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi to finalise a new set of rules for the constitution of the proposed Lokpal.
The Lokpal search committee had become a non-starter following the refusal of retired Supreme Court judge KT Thomas to head it and eminent jurist Fali S Nariman to join the eight-member committee.
Justice Thomas and Nariman had said the existing rules would not facilitate the selection of meritorious candidates with unimpeachable integrity as the head and members of the Lokpal, the apex anti-corruption ombudsman with powers to go into complaints against the Prime Minister, other ministers and lawmakers, besides top bureaucrats.
The search committee had been appointed by the outgoing UPA-II government.
