\nThe PS asserted that planning minister T.R. Zeliang used his prerogative over transfer and posting of two staff under DIS Peren as it was a matter of public importance, when Mrs Kikwetna requested the minister for retention at the DIS office Peren subsequent to her promotion. The PS said the minister accordingly recommended he case to the minister of school education while pointing that the minister was not aware of the \u201cmutual transfer\u201d and neither was there any alleged forgery of signature when papers were placed before him for recommendation.
\nThe PS said this was \u201cnormal practice\u201d for a legislator to recommend for transfer or retention of any employee under his constituency \u201cin the interest of the people\u201d and therefore, denied any \u201centangled tussle\u201d between the ministers.
\nFurther, it was pointed out that posts of UDAs are transferable regardless of who was senior or junior.
\nThe PS said the planning minister accepted the decision of the school education minister for accommodating both incumbents in the DIS office \u201cat this juncture as a kind gesture\u201d adding that both parties should have been content \u201cinstead of bringing in more complication by going to the press\u201d. The PS asserted that the minister of planning was prepared to write for a fresh order if any of the parties had any grievance after agreeing to the decision of the school education minister and implicating the ministers \u201cin a mere transfer case\u201d. <\/p>\n
