| Fresh guidelines for appointment staff in personal sections of ministers | | NOC from VO a must, big no to retd officers...... | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 4: A day after allocation of portfolios to the Council of ministers, the government today came out with an order which assumes significance in the backdrop of controversies and allegations of corruption involving personal staff of the ministers during previous NC-Congress coalition regime. In order to stay clean and take honest, upright persons on board as far as staff in personal sections of ministers is concerned, the government has come out with a couple of conditions which can be seen as stringent measures to check corruption or corrupt practices which have remained 'hallmark' with many ministries of NC and Congress in the past.
In what can be seen as fresh guidelines for appointment of people whom ministers would wish to induct with their respective departments, the new alliance government has made it mandatory to seek approval of none other than the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in the first place. As per the order issued by GAD today, the first norm which the ministers of both the alliance partners shall have to comply is the approval of CM which specifies " no person related to Council of Ministers shall be posted in the personal section(s) of the Minister besides no officer shall be attached to the personal section of the Minister without the approval of the Chief Minister through Chief Secretary in coordination".
Sources in the Secretariat said that most important aspect of this order issued today is that no minister can take any employee in his personal section without seeking NOC from the Vigilance Organisation. In other words, before taking any officer or employee of any rung, like for instance clerks, Personal Secretaries , PROS or even class four employees in the personal section, the Minister shall have to verify the antecedents and character of the staff, sources said adding that this has been done in view of a number of such staff in the personal sections of NC-Congress government having indulged in corruption of high level. Scams emerged over the years with revelations that personal staff not turned into authorities unto themselves but also 'facilitated' acts of corruption in various high profile ministries. The GAD order issued today has also restricted appointment of officers who have reached age of superannuation. This is to pre-empt a practice
which had become a norm during the previous government as scores of retired officers including senior retied bureaucrats were taken on board or given extensions for the posts which they held for many years self-aggrandizement . |
