TURA: Boldamgre MDC and vice-president of the MPYC, Stevie M Marak, has written to the executive member in-charge of Revenue in the GHADC, seeking an immediate action from the latter with regard to an illegal appointment of a village headman under his constituency.
According to Marak, the illegal appointment came to light after a complaint was received from the Nokma of Chondonpara A’king II-21 (2), Walson M Marak, where he informed that one, Abdul Safi, son of late Abdul Kadir, was illegally elected as the headman of Doguripara Village.
Marak further said that while the said village falls under his jurisdiction, his consent was never taken and the illegal appointment was done with the approval of the president of the Garobadha Village Council.
“This is completely illegal and unacceptable. How can a village council approve the appointment of a headman when there is already a Nokma under whose jurisdiction the village falls? Immediate action needs to be taken against all those involved,” Marak demanded.
The Boldamgre alleged that such appointments are taking place in other areas as well.
Reminding that the only authority to appoint a headman is the EM in-charge of Revenue, Marak demanded action for the immediate revocation of the illegal appointment.
