The document discusses the Jan Lokpal Bill, which was proposed in India to establish an independent anti-corruption ombudsman agency called Lokpal at the central level and Lokayukta at the state level. The key aspects of the bill are: 1) It proposes to establish Lokpal agencies with 10 members and a chairperson to investigate corruption complaints against central and state government departments independently. 2) If a complaint is proven, Lokpal would have the power to dismiss corrupt officers or impose penalties and direct speedy trials of cases within 1 year. 3) Lokpal would also have enforcement powers, including imposing penalties on officials who do not comply with its orders

13. BUT NOW SOME PEOPLE ARE
SAYING……
…….Prime Minister should not be covered under Jan Lokpal!
Judiciary should not be covered under Jan Lokpal…….
People’s Grievances will overburden them….
Lokpal should only investigate a few high profile cases of
corruption!
……..Lokpal should not be given the responsibility of protecting
the whistleblowers!
CBI, CVC and departmental vigilance should not be merged into
Lokpal… Let Lokpal be a small body and let the existing anti-
corruption bodies keep functioning in ineffective manner as
they are……
