Upadhaya seeks support from civil society in anti-corruption drive
Chief Commissioner of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), Surya Nath Upadhaya, has called on all to support the anti-corruption drive of the CIAA to create corruption free society.
Speaking at a programme organised to mark the anniversary of CIAA on Thursday, Upadhaya said the action of the CIAA will not be effective until people have the mentality that CIAA is the means of controlling corruption and urged the civil society to actively support the anti-corruption drive.
Upadhaya urged government secretaries to work honestly and not fear the CIAA.
The CIAA will not intervene in administrative works if there is no misuse of power and corruption, Upadhaya said. “I have told the government secretaries several times to work courageously and honestly and not fear the CIAA.”
Former justice of the Supreme Court Krishna Jung Rayamajhi said that the work of CIAA is to file cases and the court has the responsibility of decision making so both of these sectors must be free from corruption.
CIAA commissioner Lalit Bahadur Limbu, economist Dr Mohan Man Saiju and journalist Yubaraj Ghimire called on people from every walk of life to help control corruption. nepalnews.com pb Feb 10 06
