The Mizoram Lokayukta (Amendment) Act, 2016

General201612 sections

This Act amends the Mizoram Lokayukta Act of 2014 to strengthen the state's anti-corruption body. It updates the qualifications for the Chairperson and Members, requiring specific expertise in areas like public administration, finance, and law, or judicial experience. The legislation changes the appointment process to ensure the office is filled well before terms end and prevents long vacancies. It also simplifies the body's name to Lokayukta in several sections and mandates that the Whistleblowers Protection Act of 2011 applies to safeguard those who report corruption. These changes aim to make the institution more effective and independent.
