Kalyan Banerjee speaks during Question Hour on re-employment of retired bureaucrats

Experience speaks. After retirement many bureaucrats, and even the judicial officers, are sent to tribunals etc. Who are these bureaucrats? Those who are in favour of the government of the day. Madam, they are sent to the tribunals and all they do is occupy the chairs. This is our experience.

Why are serving bureaucrats not appointed to administrative tribunals? What is the need to re-appoint retired bureaucrats? Then the system would be more beneficial.

This government is in power today; some other party will form the government tomorrow. This government will appoint their favourite people to the tribunals.

Madam, I have a question to the Hon’ble Minister to this extent. Would he kindly re-think about the appointment of retired Bureaucrats. Will you bring the bureaucrats who are in service and have the accountability?
