HYDERABAD, Aug 13: The Taluka City Council (TCC) here on Wednesday appointed a 10-member committee to prepare a report on the no-confidence motion passed against a union council Naib Nazim and present it to the National Reconstruction Bureau chief.
The decision was made at the emergency session of the TCC requisited by Usman Abbasi and others “to discuss anomalies in the Sindh Local Government Ordinance-2001 and put forward recommendations about it to the NRB.”
Speaking at the session, Iqbal Kaimkhani, claimed that no-confidence motions could not be tabled against Nazims and their deputies and it was ridiculous that those people were removing Nazims and Naib Nazims who had not elected them.
UC-9 Nazim Shahabuddin Munshi, whose notification of removal is yet to be issued, termed the no-confidence motion against him illegal saying that he was not given any notice or opportunity of hearing.
He said that he never got copies of resolutions or minutes of sessions of his union council.
Qamaruddin Sheikh regretted that while Nazims and Naib Nazis were elected through single ballot papers yet their ways were separate and perhaps the architects of the SLGO had not envisaged the situation.
He said that while the UCs were trying to save local government system, the bureaucracy and the NRB were trying to sabotage it in different ways.
Abdul Waheed Ajmeri suggested that the TCC should suspend its work unless the solution of the no-confidence motion was found.
