Unfair appointment

#Unfair #appointment.

The decision to grant KIIFB chief KM Abraham a Cabinet rank by the Kerala cabinet raises important legal and procedural questions. Although Cabinet holds significant governance authority, an individual's elevation to Cabinet rank generally follows established protocols and criteria. Without clarity on the specific motives for Abraham's promotion, concerns about transparency and adherence to established standards arise. Furthermore, any decision of this nature must ensure its legality and avoid controversies.

Additionally, the role of the governor in this context adds another level of complexity. For safeguarding the integrity of governance processes, the governor plays a crucial oversight role. Depending on constitutional provisions, the governor may have the power to approve or veto these appointments. The decision will likely be guided by legal advice and public interest considerations. Therefore, the governor's response will be crucial in determining the legitimacy of the Cabinet's decision to grant KM Abraham ministerial rank.

KM Abraham is second in queue before ED, after former finance minister Thomas Isaac for his involvement in the Masala bond scam. When the state lacks money to even conduct school examinations, it is highly irregular to grant Cabinet rank to a retired officer, which involves a huge financial burden on the exchequer.
