Under attack over corruption, the government today came out with a slew of anti-graft measures which include doing away with certain discretionary powers of ministers, a three-month limit to grant sanction for prosecution and setting up of fast-track courts.
The measures form part of the recommendations of a Group of Ministers (GoM) to curb corruption, headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, which were submitted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The recommendations of the GoM, which was set up in January, will be implemented through government orders soon, Law Minister Salman Khursheed and Minister of State for Personnel V Narayanasamy told reporters here.
A new policy and a bill on public procurement in the Winter Session of Parliament to tackle corruption and make the procedure more transparent, they said.
Narayanasamy said the GoM has recommended that the ministers would have no discretionary powers in the allotment of land, telephone and petrol pumps.
