Dimapur, June 28 (EMN): The state government has appointed Khriehu Liezietsu as ‘Adivisor’ to the chief minister ‘in the rank and status of a cabinet minister with the portfolio of Music Task Force with immediate effect’. This was notified through an official order issued on Wednesday.
Khriehu, who recently resigned as a legislator, is the son of chief minister Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu. His resignation was widely interpreted as vacating seat for his father, who is not an elected legislator, to contest in the by-elections.
“He will be entitled to pay and allowances and all other facilities admissible to a cabinet minister”, the order read.
