CPI expresses ire over Lokayukta dilution, says no consultation done -KM Rakesh

-The Telegraph

Ordinance seeks to amend Section 14 of the Act, 1999, by inserting provision that the government may 'accept or reject' declarations or orders

Bangalore: The CPI, a partner in Kerala’s Left Democratic Front government, has alleged that no political consultations were held prior to presenting before the cabinet the government’s ordinance to make Lokayukta orders non-binding on it.

State CPI secretary Kanam Rajendran said the government should not have taken the ordinance route to empower itself to take a call on accepting or rejecting Lokayukta orders, and that a bill should have been introduced in the Assembly instead.

“It is a fact that necessary political consultations did not take place regarding this,” Rajendran told reporters on Wednesday, a day after Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala released a copy of the ordinance awaiting the governor’s nod.

“Everyone will get the freedom to raise their opinion if it is moved in the Assembly as a bill. Denial of that is what led to this controversy,” Rajendran said, conceding that the partners of the ruling LDF were not consulted before the government presented the ordinance at the cabinet meeting on Friday.
