SHILLONG: CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing has sent a petition to the Governor of Meghalaya on Wednesday opposing the appointment of Pynshngain N Syiem as the KHADC CEM since he is holding dual posts of MLA cum MDC.
In the petition submitted to the Governor, Kharshiing said Syiem was a respondent in the PIL filed by her in the High Court of Meghalaya against holding dual posts.
“No approval should be accorded to Syiem as the new CEM for the reason that he is holding the post of the member of district council in violation of the provision of Rule 17(1) (a) of Assam and Meghalaya Constitution of Autonomous District Council Rules 1951 and also holding the post of MLA in violation of Article 191 (1) (a) of the Constitution of India,” Kharshiing said in the petition.
She also reminded the Governor that the matter had been taken up with the previous Governor K.K. Paul, who had sought clarification from the State Government in this regard.
