KATHMANDU, NOV 04 - Representatives from various organisations and civil society took part in the rally with the slogan ‘Let’s get-together in support of the people’s movement against corruption and bad governance’ organised by the National People’s Movement Committee Against Corruption (NPMCAC) here today.
The statement issued on the occasion said that corruption and bad governance was the root cause of present chaos and disorder in the country and the movement was necessary to pressurise the responsible body.
The committee charged that instead of working against such irregularities, responsible bodies kept on hoodwinking. As a result,organisation like NPMCAC had to come up with such a bold action.
The committee also demands that all those who were issued a letter by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) for abusing power should be punished as soon as possible. It also states that those who are not able to take action against those corrupt people should give up their jobs.
The statement also stresses that even corruptpeople within the commission need to be punished. It states, industries which were sold in the name of privatisation need investigation.
People charged for Lauda, Dhamija, China South West, L.C. must be punished, the statement says. Every transaction related to loan, supports, social service and donation should be transparent and income and expenditure of all the parties should be made public, itadds.
