SHILLONG, March 20: Following the revelation by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in its audit report for the year ending 2012 that seven persons were directly appointed to various posts merely based on the recommendations of the then Chief Executive Member (CEM) and Deputy CEM of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, thereby bending its own recruitment rules, incumbent Titosstarwell Chyne on Sunday said the council will examine if these appointments need to be cancelled.
Reacting to the CAG report, Chyne said the KHADC has taken note of the same and is working on corrective measures.
Asked if these appointments will be cancelled, he said the matter will be examined.
According to the CAG report, the rules clearly state that recruitment to all cases of services and staff in the KHADC shall be made after due advertisement and by competitive examination or on the basis of oral examination and interview.
Scrutiny of records revealed that between March 2011 and January 2012, seven persons were appointed to various posts such as typist, peon and constable, the audit report stated. “It was, however, noticed that the seven vacancies were never advertised. The appointments were made only on the basis of the Executive Committee’s approval without holding any competitive examination/interview that was not on records,” the CAG report stated.
Further, the report said, the Secretary to the Executive Committee in the KHADC in his reply in May 2018 had stated that the officials were earlier attached to the legislative department and subsequently, absorbed with the approval of the Executive Committee.
