Lokpal Rajya Sabha

The number of complaints submitted to the Lokpal has considerably reduced over the years which is a good reflection on the Modi government as there is hardly anything to complain against, Minister of State for Personnel and PMO Jitendra Singh said.

Anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal, which came into being in 2019, is required to present to President and Parliament an annual report on the work done by it but no such report has been laid in the two Houses, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.

In the wake of objections by some members, Rajya Sabha today referred to a Select Committee a bill to amend the Anti-Corruption Act of 1988 which provides for enhancing penalty for graft to a maximum of seven years from the present five years.

A Parliamentary panel examining the Lokpal bill may recommend that the proposed anti-corruption watchdog be a single window stop for probing all corruption complaints against government functionaries by ending multiplicity of investigating agencies to investigate graft cases.

The deadline for a Parliamentary panel examining the bill on anti-corruption watchdog Lokpal for submission of its report has been extended for a third time till November 15.
