Moreover there are still lot more who have not yet been exposed.... I am waiting for Royal Commission report....

I wonder why Rabindra nath sharma, achyut kharel pradeep sumsher, motilal bohora are missing even though CIAA already has case against them registered

I guess we should introduce death penalty and hang all these corrupts publicly... just jail term is not enought for these bastards... who were looting nepalese while poor nepalese were dying of hunger....

And never to forget the politicians who amassed money through these filthy ex-servicemen. The amount shown is only the amount each of them amassed. They must have sent bheti to politicians while eating that money.

If we grill these guys, they will tell us whoa re the politicians who took comissions from them.. such as Girija and his cronies, Sujata Koirala smelly shit.

I am just wondering that: If somebody can post of their photos, how these Nepalese Crooks looks like.

Thanks

To: MeriNepalAma

How did you get corruption Amount records. Is this real?

Could you post web link to us?

Just wondering and shock .........

Even if those amounts were fake one, for sure the money they amasses must be greater than those numbers.

In most debates I disagree with MeriNepal Ama and Prem dai. But in this case I have 100 percent support to them.
These figure have come up with CIAA investigations. There must be more that is still kept clandestine. And there are thousands more to be investigated. Including most of the ministers from the present cabinet.

Also, it's very hard to identify some bhrasta people and bring cases against them. Becasue their parents might already had big big proprties.

It's easy to catch people like Wagle etc. who came to Valley on chappal, and now they have mahals.

But there are other bhrastas, who were already rich due to parental properties. They also embezzled AKUT money during their tenure. If we indict them, somehow they can show that they got it from parents.

And there are other type of bhrastas, who are already out of service after amassing lot of money, but now they are running business. If CIAA gonna go after them, they will try to escape by money laundering, claiming that they recently earned trhough profits from thier business.

Another thing to remember is, the chief of CIAA himself is believed to be corrupt person, who was placed by then poltical parties (Girija?). So that guy cannot be effective in dealing this.

CIAA has been there for so many years... But how many bhrastas have been brought to justice so far.. VERY FEW!!!!

Khwasa Gynae.... your govt. is not acting fast.. with even those two ex-prime ministers !!!!!

We know you are not clean... But we don't mind if you eliminate all the bhrastas.. and then bring only the clean people in the Govt..... make room for the real patriotic, knowledgeable, ethical, technocrats to run the country.

Probably that way you may wash some of your sins.

Royal Commission receives 500 complaints

The Corruption Control Royal Commission, which started work from February 21, has received nearly 500 complaints on corruption cases.

The Commission formed to initiate swift action against corrupt persons has been endowed with judicial rights equal to the Special Court.

According to official sources, complaints are coming in rapidly after it published notices asking ordinary citizens to report corruption cases. Officials said internal preparations regarding the investigation based on these complaints are underway.

The complaints range from minor bribery cases to major scams, it is learnt.

Sources also said that a set of directives governing the investigation process and actions to be initiated against convicted persons is under preparation, which is expected to enable the commission to go all-out against corruption. High-level meetings take place almost daily at the commission to discuss its upcoming moves, they said.

Besides the chairman and the commissioners, there are 32 officers deputed to the commission from various government departments.

Royal Commission chairman vows tough action against 'tainted' politicians

Chairman of the Corruption Control Royal Commission, Bakta Bahadur Koirala, said on Thursday that investigation against corruption suspects would begin soon. He vowed tough action against anybody found amassing property by illegal means.

Talking to newsmen today, Koirala said no corruption suspects would be spared of probe. ?Politicians who used to walk around in cheap slippers few years ago have become billionaires. Where did the money come from?? he asked adding, ?They must disclose the source of their fortune.?

While pledging stern action against corruption-tainted persons, including politicians who were in power after the 1990?s political change, Koirala claimed the investigation process and the punishment against them would be fair and transparent.

?We are not biased against any political leader. Only those involved in corruption would be taken action against,? he said and declared that the assets of leaders and others convicted of corruption would be seized and nationalised. He added, ?Our investigation will be transparent and within legal parameters.?

In his three decade-long career in the administrative service, Koirala headed the Special Police, the Department of Commerce and Industries and the Customs Department and was the secretary of the Home Ministry before his retirement. He was appointed chairman of the six-member commission on Wednesday.

They are consulting with US, Australia, Canada and British government for the investigation and actions to Nepalese criminals.

ya chai ramro khabar lyaaayo nepalture le....!! good job.

I am pretty sure the royal commission has commissioned another commission to submit/file names of the politicians and ex-servicemen, servicemen to use as a triumph card to curb them.

I, myself, was in govt. service for some time and I did not think of buying a land or build a house by the income. I was just concerned of maintaining my wife's crude needs, so that she does not run away.

5000 RS was my salary per month then as a section officer (now around 8000 Rs)

per year 12 x 5000 = 60,000 RS

to buy 1 anna of land , non-motorable (then) = 125000
I needed at least four annas 125000 X 4 = 6,00,000

Time taken to buy 4 annas of land 600000 / 60000 = 10 years

cost of building a house aprox 700Rs/square foot
If I build a house of 1000 sq. foot = 700 x 1000 = 700000

Time to earn 700000/5000 = 12 years

Total time required to buy four annas of land and 1000 sq feet modest house

10 + 12 = 22 years.

Do you think my wife would remain with me that long? No way.

Where is the money for her needs and the kids that come along?

What if I had to support the parents?

Sometimes I wanted resign from the post and become a peon of some lucrative office....


Some one said:

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime"

I say:

Behind every building there are crimes."
