JP hails tabling of Lokpal Bill Hyderabad: The amended Lokpal Bill would pave way for constitution of a strong, independent and effective institution to combat corruption among politicians and civil servants, according to Lok Satta Party.
Welcoming the introduction of amended Lok Bill, LSP national president Jayaprakash Narayan says on Saturday that amended Lokpal Bill incorporates most of the recommendations made by the round table conducted by his party in 2011.
The Lokpal Bill in its present form, however, suffers from certain lacunae. For instance, the government has dropped provisions relating to appointment of Lokayuktas at the State-level following opposition from certain parties.
He pointed out that the real corruption affecting the common man takes place at the State and local levels and it can be tackled only with the creation of strong Lokayuktas at the State-level and Ombudsmen at the district-level.
He said that the Lok Pal Bill does not incorporate provisions for service guarantee and imposition of penalty for failure to deliver services to ordinary citizens.
