Despite the fact that the bill to create the Lokpal was passed more than 10 years ago, no person has been appointed to the post of the head of the Investigation Branch of the Lokpal.
The Parliamentary Committee is seeking information from the government regarding the Lokpal post. They want to know when the Lokpal will commence its functions and how the Lokpal will carry out the investigation.
India enacted the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act to fight corruption in the country. The act was enacted in 2013, and the Lokpal started functioning from January 1, 2014. However, the Lokpal appointments began on March 27, 2019.
