Telangana vigilance panel reports not tabled in house for 6 years: Forum for Good Governance

HYDERABAD: Forum for Good Governance (FGG) has alleged that Telangana Vigilance Commission and Telangana State Finance Commission reports have not been tabled on the floor of the legislative assembly for the last six years.
“TVC submits its report to the governor on corruption in the administration every year. The governor looks into every recommendation of the commission and seeks an explanatory memorandum as to the action taken which is to be placed before the legislature.After formation of Telangana, not a single report of TVC has been tabled on the floor of the house,” Forum for Good Governance secretary M Padmanabha Reddy said.
TVC was set up in March 2015 to deal with prevention of corruption and maintenance of integrity in public service. FGG had submitted several representations to the chief secretary and also to the governor, but no action had been taken, Reddy recalled.
Reddy said: “Dozens of contempt cases pending against senior officers in the high court is a sad reflection of the working of administration.”
The Forum for Good Governance secretary asked the govenor to direct the CS to inquire as to why the reports of TVC and TSFC have not been placed in the assembly in the last six years. He urged the governor to take steps to ensure tabling of all the reports on the floor of the house.
