PAC CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT FROM THE PRESS RELEASE OF CAG’S
OFFICE NEW DELHI DATED 27 th October, 2014 AND MY REPLY TO IT with 2 QUESTIONS
TO HIM
The following is the part of PAC Chairman’s statement as
mentioned in the press release published in CAG web site.
“Speaking on the occasion (27th Conference of Accountants General on the theme ‘Promoting Good
Governance and Accountability through Public Audit’ organized by the
Comptroller & Auditor General of India), Chairman of Public Accounts
Committee,.. said that the Action Taken Notes submitted by the Government to
the PAC in response to the CAG’s observations are important means of ensuring
that necessary corrective action has been taken. There are delays in submission
of ATNs by the Government. As on 31 st March, 2013, there are 11, 133
outstanding ATNs in both central and state legislatures, …. The PAC Chairman
said that in the realm of participative governance, it is for the citizens and
the Civil Society to use the CAG’s audit reports to persuade the Government to
bring about reforms. The issues selected for audit should also reflect people’s
priorities and concerns of the stakeholders, he said.”
In reply to it I am quoting the last sentence of my book “A
FRAUD IN THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION’:
“Is it not both CAG and the Ministry fooling the
Parliament and thus the people of India? Now it is for the Public Accounts
Committee (PAC) of the Parliament to tell the Public what they are doing with
these kinds of audit objections and replies brought before them”
Hon’ble Chairman, what kind of ATNs are you expecting from
the Government on these kinds of Bogus Audit Objections? Is there any ATNs pending for the period between 1993 to 2013 on the 2G and Coalgate?
