RESUBELPARA, Aug 23: It takes “nepotism” to end “corruption”. At least this is what the NPP-led MDA 2.0 Government believes.
In a strange decision, the state government has appointed three members to assist in the process of hiring for government jobs in North Garo Hills. The decision is strange since two of the appointed members are sons of sitting MLAs while the third appointee is a close aide of another sitting legislator.
Pangsik G Momin, son of Resubelpara MLA Timothy D Shira has been named as vice chairman while Algore D Shira, son of Mendipathar MLA Marthon J Sangma, and Henry Lamin Momin, said to be a close aide of Kharkutta MLA Rupert W Momin, have been named as members of the district selection committee that is headed by Deputy Commissioner Mitali Chandra as chairman and Additional DC, Jude Rangkhu R Marak as member secretary.
The official notification issued in this regard on August 18 says the appointees will work for a period of two years.
Justifying the decision to appoint his son as member of the DSC of North Garo Hills, Marthon said his son’s presence in the committee will ensure that “no corruption can take place”.
“That was the demand of the people of my constituency. I am sure he will do a good job,” Marthon said.
