Lokpal in present form(by GOI) does not address our concerns: CBI

Appearing before the Rajya Sabha Select Committee examining the Lokpal Bill on , CBI Director AP Singh said that Lokpal Bill in its present form( Lokpal 2011, made by government ) "seriously compromises" CBI's autonomy of investigation and does not address its concerns(para 1,3and4) as well as the lokpal's original aim (para 2) itself!

1. CBI said that it also  does not deal at all with the issue of agency's dependence on government over financial and administrative matters.
   
2.  CBI said one of the major points of the Lokpal bill movement by Team Anna was to give greater autonomy and independence to the investigation agency .But in Lokpal 2011 this does not seem to have happened.
3. CBI accepted that dependence of CBI on the government in financial and administrative matters is both causative and reinforcing factor for the public perception that CBI can be influenced by the government and that the investigations are not immune to government's interference and pressure.
4. So in solution to financial dependence of cbi over government it proposed creation of a separate Demand for Grant for it from the Consolidated Fund of India. It said the CBI chief should be the 'grant controlling authority' and 'chief accounting authority' for the grant. "The Director, CBI would exercise power of Secretary to Government of India as provided under the delegation of financial power rules, 1978"
5. it also asked that CBI director should have "full authority" in appointment, extension and curtailment of tenure of officers upto the rank of DIG in the agency and  also proposed that the CBI chief should be included as a member of selection committee for appointment of other officers above the rank of DIG in the department. The Delhi Special Police Establishment Act - which governs CBI - should be amended accordingly.
6. Cbi also asked that in a veiled reference to its differences with Law Officers, CBI said it should have powers to engage special counsels and specialists of different disciplines.
7. CBI directoar also asked that  instead of two years, the tenure of  Director  should be increased to five years to ensure proper continuity and supervision of important cases and to help him implement "strategic vision" to improve the organisation.
