Upa-Lokayukta farewell function for IGP/director and Sr. SP

Farewell programme of outgoing officers IGP & Director, I Meyionen and Sr. SP, L Temsunungsang was held at the premises of Nagaland Lokayukta Kohima on February 26, 2021. According to DIPR report, in his speech, Nagaland Upa-Lokayukta, Mayang Lima said the retiring officers had come up from certain rank to the highest level through dedication and hard work. 

Lauding the retiring officers for rendering their best service to the organisation, he said that the legacy and inspiration they left behind would be remembered.

Delivering his farewell message, I Meyionen shared that landing up in such a department was not an enviable job unless one was fully committed. He also cautioned the officers that there were high chances of being subjective in their approach during investigations rather than being objective and therefore a balanced approach was required. He further maintained that unless there was a political will to fight corruption, there would be no accountability, transparency, delegation and decentralisation of responsibility in the system.

He also acknowledged the retired seniors officers for their immense contributions in moulding his career.  Speaking at the programme, outgoing officer, Temsunungsang also lauded the officers and staff for their continued support and cooperation during his entire career. He requested the officers in the investigation wing to prioritise and focus while discharging their duties. He also encouraged the officers to keep the love of God, family, work, to cherish others and one self.

Further, he wished the officers and department success in all future endeavours. Earlier, Sr SP T Holtoh chaired the programme and highlighted the profile and achievements of the outstanding officers. Short speeches were delivered by secretary Kuko Mero, public prosecutor Vikhozo Vitsu and Oponlumi Humtsoe. The program was attended by family members, well wishers, friends and officials and staffs of Lokayukta.
