CBI Will Formally Object To Reporting To New Lokpal

New Delhi: One of the major decisions that the government has to make about the new anti-corruption agency - the Lokpal - is who will investigate the complaints of graft filed by the public.

While the Lokpal - an ombdusman committee with nine members - will examine the evidence, it needs officers who will do the "field work."

Activist Anna Hazare and his associates have presented their vision of the Lokpal in what they refer to as the Jan Lokpal Bill. They have suggested that the anti-corruption wings of the CBI and the Central Vigilance Commission (the CVC) both be brought under the Lokpal. The CVC currently checks corruption among government departments. The CBI, sources say, will formally object to this proposal on September 7.
