CM urged to circulate Lokayukta Bill for public debate



BHUBANESWAR: Civil Society members under a banner of the Odisha Lokayukta Abhijan (OLA) urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday to circulate the official draft bill ‘Odisha Lokayukta Bill’ for a public debate before getting it enacted in the State Legislative Assembly.

The OLA members said the bill will be tabled and passed in the forthcoming Assembly session. However, the people of the State are yet in dark about the contents of the draft bill proposed by the State Government. 

A draft framework on the bill in a consultation organised by the civil society here on Saturday was also submitted to the Chief Minister and the Chief Secretary.  

The OLA members said the participants in the consultation unanimously and fervently wanted that the State Government should put the official draft of the Lokayukta Bill in public domain including the website for enabling the people at large to deliberate on it and to submit their constructive suggestions for making the proposed bill further refined and foolproof.
