The Manipur Parliamentary Secretary (Appointment, Salary and Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2012

General201211 sections

This Act regulates the appointment, duties, and compensation of Parliamentary Secretaries in the state of Manipur. It applies to elected Members of the Legislative Assembly chosen by the Chief Minister to assist the executive government. The law is significant because it elevates these legislators to the high rank and salary of a Minister of State, while barring them from practicing any other professions or drawing dual incomes. By granting ministerial benefits and duties to regular legislative members, the Act enables the ruling government to expand its official inner circle of power and manage political appointments within the state's Legislative Assembly.
