Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) Pradeep Kumar along with other senior officials of the vigilance commission will appear before the Parliamentary Committee tomorrow to give their views on the proposed anti-corruption bill.
They are likely to recommend vigilance framework under Lokpal for the corporates, among other suggestions, to the committee.
Besides, the Central Vigilance Commission will also ask the Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice to avoid overlapping of responsibilities with Lokpal.
“The Commission will appear tomorrow to give our stand. There is a detailed presentation for the panel. The main thrust of our recommendation among others would be to avoid conflict of interest with Lokpal while allocating work and powers,” a senior CVC official said requesting anonymity.
He said the Commission will also “seek vigilance net for private companies” to check corruption.
The Commission’s presentation earlier scheduled for September 7 and 15 was cancelled as no finality was reached on the panel members. The 31-member House Committee was reconstituted a few days ago.
“The panel should consider incorporating either the Central Vigilance Commissioner or one of the two Vigilance Commissioners into the Lokpal for smooth functioning,” the official said.
