Dimapur, November 25 (MExN): In a meeting envisaged to make the Chief Minister’s Corpus Fund more transparent, a meeting was called today by MLA and chairman of the CMCF Dr. Nicky Kire for Kohima. Various technical issues for a review of the CMCF system were disused for a more systematic and transparent board, the Angami Students’ Union, which attended the meeting, said.
The ASU proposed having its representative in the selection board, with “equal rights and voice” honoring “both sides and views and opinion”. The ASU said interviews should be strictly based on merit. Further, all political recommendation would not carry any weight, “if it is not found genuine” said an ASU note received here, informing of the proposals made in the meeting. Taking into considering the cosmopolitan nature of Kohima, the ASU also sought additional funds to accommodate what it stated are “larger beneficiaries”. The meeting was attended, among others, Deputy Commissioner of Kohima Sachopra Vero, ADC Zenietuo Yano and government representatives as well as ASU and Angami Youth organization executives.
