How to ensure that there is no corruption within Jan Lokpal or Jan Lokayukta?

Firstly, by ensuring that the right person is selected for this role!

  • Selection process for the members and Chairperson of Jan Lokpal and Jan Lokayukta has been kept transparent, broad based and participatory.
  • The 10 members and the chairperson of Jan Lokpal will be selected by a Selection Committee that would comprise of the PM, Leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, two youngest judges of Supreme Court (SC), two youngest Chief Justices of High Courts, Controller and Auditor General (CAG) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). The Selection Committee will make the above appointment from a pool of shortlisted candidates that has been identified by a "Search Committee".
  • The "Search Committee" is a 10-member committee formed as follows: First, the Selection Committee selects five members from former CEC and former CAG. However, those who have any substantive allegation of corruption or have joined any political party or are still in any Govt appointment shall be ineligible. These 5 members will then select another 5 members from the civil society to make the 10 member Search Committee.
  • The Search Committee will invite recommendations from various eminent people like editors, vice chancellors, directors of IITs, IIMs etc. These names will be put up on a website and public feedback invited, The search committee will then, by consensus, choose 3 times the number of vacancies. This list is forwarded to the Selection Committee which then selects.
  • All the meetings of the Search Committee and Selection Committee shall be video recorded that will be made public.
