To,
Hon’ble P.B. Acharya,
Governor of Nagaland.
Subject: Redressal on Arbitrary appointment of Vigilance Commissioner.
Date: 4-06-2018
Hon’ble Sir,
With utmost respect it is hereby, appraising Your Esteemed Authority that, The Naga People’s Front (NPF) Party is extremely discontent with the appointment of the new Vigilance Commissioner Shri. Mayang Lima (Retd) Principal District & Sessions Judge, dated: 1st June 2018.
The appointment of the said post is in total violation of existing norms laid down by the Central vigilance Commission Act 2003. The leader of Opposition was not taken into consultation and the candidate is a member of Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) who have contested in the recently concluded General Election 2018 about three months ago from 22 Arkakong under Mokokchung District, as such nepotism plays its part and the said candidate is obligated to a particular group.
That Sir, it has been clearly stated in the Central Vigilance Commission Act 2003, Section 41 clause 1 of sub clause (c) that to appoint the Vigilance
Commissioner approval of the Leader of Opposition is mandatory. And to our clear conscience this has been violated by your Esteemed Authority.
Henceforth Sir, the NPF out rightly rejects the appointment of Shri. Mayang Lima as the Vigilance Commissioner and reminds the PDA Government that the Vigilance Commissioner is not a political post but statutory post. The NPF express its strong resentment and regretted that the Leader of Opposition was not consulted as it is expected and that the PDA Government had failed in its part, technically and this has to be dealt with the provisions of Law.
Therefore our prayer before Your Good office is to peruse the matter at the earliest and to revoke the appointment of Shri. Mayang Lima (Retd) Principal District & Session’s Judge within one week/ immediate effect and follow the provisions as per the rules laid down and the matter be taken according to the provisions of law.
