JS body recommends abolition of post of administrator at UP

Staff Correspondent
A parliamentary standing committee yesterday finalised its recommendation for deleting the provision of appointing government administrators at the union parishads terming the provision undemocratic and unconstitutional
The parliamentary body on local government, rural development and cooperatives ministry also recommended to drop the provision of submitting affidavit of the contestants containing their personal information and wealth statement saying that many poor and less educated candi-
dates will not be able to submit affidavits due to its complex formalities and lack of lawyers at the union level.
It also recommended loan and tax defaulters eligible for contesting the union parishad elections saying that many people are considered defaulters without correct
information.
The committee made the recommendations while finalising the scrutiny of a bill titled 'Local Government (Union Parishad) Bill-2009’ which is likely to be placed in the House in the current session for its passage.
"The committee unanimously recommended to drop the present provision as different governments in the past deprived the elected members by appointing administrator," Advocate Md Rahmat Ali, chairman of the standing committee, told reporters after the meeting at the parliament building complex.
“We have also recommended that there will be a panel ofchairman comprising three elected members including a woman and the second person will act as chairman if the parishad members bring no -confidence charge against him." he said.
Different successive governments in the past misused the provision of appointing government administrator to fulfill their interests, " Monowar Hossain Chowdhury, a member of the standing committee, told The Daily Star.
Regarding affidavit he said, “There are about 50 thousand posts in union parishads and the total number of contestant may be about 2.5 lakh if five people submit nomination papers against each post. This number is so high that the contestants may not find so many lawyers to do the task of submitting affidavit."
The committee also recommended that a prospective candidate of the union parishad election should get an opportunity for rescheduling his/her loans prior to the day of submitting nomination paper.
The present provision shows that a candidate will be disqualified if he/she is considered as loan defaulter prior to one year of the date of submitting the nomination paper.
