United Samajwadi MP Rajendra Pandey has said that if the Chief Secretary Eknarayan Aryal and other secretaries played a role in cheating the system of 'cooling off period' put in the Federal Civil Service Bill by the State System and Good Governance Committee of the House of Representatives, it has been said.
In the meeting of the State Affairs Committee on Wednesday, MP Pandey said that he doubts whether the chief secretary and secretaries have played a role in making the 'cooling off period' provision in the bill ineffective. He also demanded that a committee should be formed to investigate whether the chief secretary and secretaries are involved in cheating on the bill.
'In our mind, we are wondering whether the chief secretary and secretaries have played behind the scenes. Inside the curtain, it was revealed that these chief secretaries and secretaries had threatened to resign to the Prime Minister in order to remove the 'cooling off period','' said Pandey. An investigation committee should be formed to resolve that.' Pandey said that an investigation should also be done to prevent
from happening in the future. In the
bill, it was provided that employees who have retired or resigned from civil or government service for 2 years cannot take constitutional and government appointments. However, in the committee's report, the arrangement to cut the said provision was also kept intact.
