Requests Governor to make CS place the reports during forthcoming session of the Legislature
Forum for Good Governance (FGG) has requested Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan, to direct Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar to take steps to place all the pending reports of the State Finance Commission (SFC) and Vigilance Commission (VC) in the Assembly as the next session is to commence on September 24.
In a communication to the Governor, a copy of which was released to the media, FGG secretary M. Padmanabha Reddy said there was no transparency and accountability in the functioning of the administration as no action is being taken on the vigilance reports through there is rampant corruption with common man forced to pay hefty bribes.
Since the formation of the Telangana State, not a single VC or SFC report has been placed on the floor of the House in the last seven years. “We have requested the government a number of times to place the reports in the Assembly so that these issues are discussed and people know the issues,” he said.
