Sonowal directs his colleague ministers not to appoint any person outside government as personal staff
The Assam CM directed that, in case, any Minister or Minister of State desires to engage services of any person outside the Government, the matter should be placed before the Cabinet.
Similarly, all important decisions involving public interest and public policy should also be brought by the Department before the Cabinet, the Chief Minister directed.
Sonowal’s direction came after his cabinet colleague and forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma, who known as the Assam forest queen, got involved in a graft case while she appointed three youths from her own district as the informers of the state forest department.
The state forest minister had allegedly appointed three youths in the state forest department by issuing a letter.
Recently, two youths among them were arrested by police, while they were illegally collected money from several trucks in Guwahati.
