Forming a high-level commission to investigate corruption: Prime Minister
The Prime Minister said, 'We have expressed our commitment in the manifesto of the party itself that all the corruption that happened after 2046 will be investigated.
KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has stated that the government intends to form a high-level committee to investigate past corruption allegations.
Addressing the opening session of the eighth national convention of the All Nepal Trade Union Federation at Kamaladi, Kathmandu on Monday afternoon, the Prime Minister said that a commission will be formed soon to investigate corruption.
The Prime Minister said, ‘We have expressed our commitment in the manifesto of the party itself that all the corruption that happened after 2046 will be investigated. We are preparing to form a commission. I have mentioned the 3 priorities of the present government, social justice, good governance and prosperity. We will work by forming a commission to achieve the goal of good governance.’
He said that it was strange to see him joking that the biggest corrupt person should have been investigated for corruption.
‘They are presenting themselves in this way to mislead the public. We do not need to be confused by them,’ he said, ‘corruption is investigated and a new environment of good governance is created in the country.’
He said the country has made a good start in the four months since the government was formed. The Prime Minister stated during his speech at the 8th Congress of the Nepal Trade Union Federation that good work has begun since the government was created under his leadership.
“Previously, the future of millions of students was jeopardized because books did not arrive on time in schools for ten years,” he explained.
According to him, income collection has grown, embezzlement has decreased, remittances have increased, and millions of Nepali workers overseas have been enrolled in contribution-based social programs.
“Yesterday, there was a long queue at the passport and national identity card collection point,” he explained, “but the long queue has now reduced.” The quality of service has improved. A solid basis for excellent administration has been laid.’
