Kathmandu, March 29: Nepal’s newly formed government has constituted a commission under its ambitious 100-point work plan to investigate the properties and assets of former state heads.
The Cabinet on Saturday decided to form a committee, the Commission for the Investigation of the Abuse of Authority (CIAA), to investigate the assets of senior political executives and high-ranking government officials in a phased manner. The CIAA will operate under the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
In the first phase, all those who held public offices after the 2006 Nepalese revolution, also known as the democracy movement, will be under scrutiny, and the commission will complete the investigation within 15 days.
Following this, the government has begun investigating the assets of four former prime ministers, Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, and Madhav Kumar.
The second phase of the probe will target all those who held crucial public positions between 1991 and 2006. (PTI)
