Corruption in Nagaland is at its peak. In fact it can't go higher than this. Politicians and Government official have emptied the State's coffer. There is absolutely zilch in a sense of accountability and responsibility. The Sate Vigilance Commission is ineffective. What do we do? Where do we go from here? The corrupt needs to be tried and put behind bars.
The answer is Lokayukta an Ombudsman similar to the Lokpal in the Centre. Sates which have implemented Lokayukta have seen powerful politicians and Bureaucrats put behind bars. These Sates are making strides when it comes to development. What is keeping the Nagaland Legislative Assembly from passing the Lokayukta Bill? The reason is obvious but examples has to be set. Following are the states in India which have implemented Lokayukta Bill. Lokayukta, Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta, Assam Lokayukta, Bihar Lok Aayog Adhyadesh(ordinance), Chhattisgarh Lokayukta, Delhi Lokayukt, Goa Lokayukta, Gujarat Lokayukta, Haryana Lokayukta, Himachal Pradesh Lokayukta, Jharkhand Lokayukta, Karnataka Lokayukta, Kerala Lokayukta, Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta, Maharashtra Lokpal, Orissa Lokpal, Punjab Lokayukta, Rajasthan Lokayukta, Uttarakhand - adopted from Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta, Uttar Pradesh
